The chief of suicide operations for a Pakistan-based terror organization has been officially listed as a "terrorist" by the United States, coinciding with a similar action by the United Nations on Monday.
Qari Zakir, chief of suicide operations for the Haqqani Network, was labeled a specially designated global terrorist under the authority of an executive order, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton announced in a written statement. The designation blocks Zakir from all of his property that is subject to U.S. jurisdiction and prohibits any U.S. nationals from engaging in any transactions on behalf, or for the benefit, of Zakir.
In addition to the designation by the United States, Zakir and the Haqqani Network were listed by the United Nations sanctions committee in actions that require all U.N. member states to implement a freeze of assets, a travel ban and an arms embargo against both entities.
The United States designated the Haqqani Network as a foreign terrorist organization in September. While the leadership of the group is based in northwestern Pakistan, the group is responsible for a series of deadly attacks in Afghanistan.
In addition to his role as the head of suicide operations for the Haqqani network, Zakir, also known as Abdul Rauf, is the operational commander for the group in the Afghan provinces of Kabul, Takhar, Kunduz and Baghlan.
In the announcement, the State Department said Zakir had a hand in many high-profile attacks carried out by his organization, including the September 2011 attack on the U.S. Embassy in Kabul. Sixteen Afghans, including six children, were killed in that attack.

IIn current educated and civilized world we hear of terms like CEO, COO, CTO and all C-XO's but in Pakistan it is "CHIEF OF SUICIDE OPERATIONS"..wth
This country it seems has been following Somalia as a role model.................
Kill one snake and another one replaces it, There needs to be a revamp as to how these situations are handled, drones and sending of troops here and there is not working, this cycle will continue with no end in sight......nobody wants to think outside the box to find a solution to all this violence.
The U.S. should DRONE pakystan out of existence. Problem solved!
wrong.
"The chief of suicide operations" wow who would of guess that he of all people was a "terrorist". maybe they waited till they killed people then they found out.
Chief of suicide operations? Monkeys with guns and suicide belts. One well placed drone and poof, gone, never to be seen again
tough guys should go back to playing call of duty in their parent's basement. umadbro?
I paid $252 for their scam writing service. Their site promised that a native English speaker or someone with a mastery of the English language. However, when I previewed the written paper, there were several instances of incoherency and grammatical mistakes. Worse was the usage of parentheses and BOLD, or capital, letters, when the format I had requested, Turabian, made those anathema to utilize. Also, I had given specific quotes I wished to have used. Only one of these
This thing of murders disgusts me to the core. I wonder why murderers don't go fight in desert islands where they won't hurt anyone.
BFD all of Pakistan are terrorists. Our leaders are stupid fools to continue giving them aid.
They are not giving aid to pakistan. they are giving bribery to our politicians to continue drone strikes in pakistan... i feel sad to see fool people like you who really think its aid !
We are giving to Pakistan. Pakistan is receiving the money. Call it this money whatever you want. In return, you are calling us fools? You must be a Muslim!!
@ Raza - US gives Pakistan money. And Pakistanis call American fools for doing that? America is the largest donor nations in the world. Pakistan is probably the largest receiver nation in the world. Am I missing something?
Think about it what you have just said.
By "targets" you mean summarily executes, without trial. Nice how the "land of the free" can issue death warrants now. "Because we say so" is apparently good enough reason.
Hey, you got it! Very good! The world isn't and idealistic virtual world dimwit.
It does not even make sense to call this terrorist nation an ally of the US!! Pakistanis pretend to be an ally only on the day the aid money is paid to them, then they are the worst enemy rest of the time. Shameless Pakistani terrorists keep the aid money for earthquakes, floods, vaccinations, etc., and then they turn around and stab the benefactors in the back.
Reblogged this on World Chaos.
"Sixteen Afghans, including six children, were killed in the September 2011 attack on the U.S. Embassy in Kabul " - This Pakistani baby killer terrorist needs to be put down.
Thank you, Silverado. You sound like another dimwitted Tea Partier. Are you one by any chance? We need to leave the Pakistanis alone and let them take care of these so-called "terrorists".
Oh, aren't you the first in line to defend those baby killer Pakistanis? Aren't you the kind of guy who likes to say "Dirka, Dirka, Mohammed, Jihad"?
