The Taliban's refugee minister was tragically killed in a suicide bombing in the Afghan capital Kabul on Wednesday, as confirmed by the interior ministry. Khalil Haqqani, the uncle of current Taliban Interior Minister Sirajuddin Haqqani, who heads the powerful Haqqani network, was the victim of the attack.

Reports indicate that the suicide bomber, disguised as a visitor, detonated his bomb while Haqqani was signing paperwork at the Ministry of Refugees compound. This incident resulted in the deaths of Haqqani and six other individuals.
