The Haqqani network has established a ministatein centered on the town with courts, tax offices and lots of madrassas... Bazaar included Mullah Akhtar Zadran, a 'commander' of the Haqqani network, and Abu Saif Al-Jazeri, an operative of Al Qaeda. Also killed in the strike are said to be two Punjabi Death Eater 'commanders' -- Rana Ashraf and Naveed Butt. The other 13 victims were 'foot soldiers', the sources said.
