The United States has removed multimillion-dollar bounties on three senior Taliban officials, including Sirajuddin Haqqani, the interior minister and leader of the Haqqani network. This move signals a potential shift in US-Taliban relations, following the Taliban’s release of an American hostage. The Haqqani network was responsible for some of the deadliest attacks during the war in Afghanistan. Afghan officials confirmed the decision, which affects Haqqani, his brother, and a cousin. The US has not officially commented on the reasoning behind the decision.
