A top Taliban cleric has been killed in a suicide bombing by a one-legged man who had explosives hidden in his artificial leg, it has been claimed.
Sheikh Rahimullah Haqqani, who supported female education, died in the Kabu l blast which happened in his seminary in the Afghanistan capital.
It happened as Kabul is still reeling from the drone killing of al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri recently and that he had been living in plain sight in the capital.
