#2 My understanding, to date, is that Haqqani is a business conglomerate with monopolies on some infrastructure, such as trucking. Not ideologically driven like turbans but not Mary Poppins, either. Just as ruthless as turbans but working for money, territorial franchises. Akin to mafias, with field-operational units. Control trucking from Pak to Afg. Which means they are extorted by government officials, especially Pak, who can apply fires to them. So, yeah, I can see Pak not touching Haqqani.
