Family members of Afghanistan’s most-feared Taliban mafia clan dubbed “The Sopranos of Terror” died in the US missile strike on Al-Qaeda boss Ayman al-Zawahiri, sources say.
The 71-year-old militant chief was killed in two precision Hellfire missile strikes on the balcony of a posh house run by the head of the Haqqani extremist crime syndicate in a CIA operation last weekend.
But despite US claims no civilians were killed in the “ninja” Hellfire hit, sources say several Haqqani relatives were killed by the missiles that hit Zawahiri as he stood on a balcony.
