Overview
Khalil Haqqani, the Taliban's refugee minister, was killed in a suicide bombing claimed by ISIS-K in Kabul. Haqqani's death is seen as a major loss for the Taliban, particularly as it attempts to project stability after the U.S. withdrawal. Tight security measures are in place for his funeral, which is attended by top officials. The attack, which claimed six lives, raises questions about the Taliban's ability to maintain security, especially after a period of relative calm since their takeover.
