VIDEO from the Islamic seminary in Kabul where a suicide bomber blew up in the room of Rahimullah Haqqani, killing him. People can be heard crying in the background. #Afghanistan

Rahimullah Haqqani was an important pro-Taliban ideologue and was pretty well known in Pakistan too. There have been multiple attacks against him in the past too, which he survived. He was a critic of ISKP.

Here's an old thread of mine on Rahimullah Haqqani:

Remains of Rahimullah Haqqani's dead body:

Celebrations in pro-ISKP channels following Rahimullah Haqqani's death. Worth noting that he was not just a critic of ISKP but also a strong opponent of the Salafist ideology.

Ok so that's the dead body of the suicide bomber. His legs are completely blown off. Rest of the body intact but charred.

So, Taliban sources say that the suicide bomber was handicapped and had explosives hidden in his plastic artificial leg. This explains why we don't see his legs in the photos. Taliban sources say he entered the seminary to meet Rahimullah Haqqani and then detonated. #Kabul

Taliban spox Bilal Karimi officially confirmed the event.

BREAKING:

ISKP claims "martyrdom operation" in Kabul carried out by its member Khalid al-Logari which killed Rahimullah Haqqani, identified as an enemy of IS, along with a number of his companions.

BREAKING:

IS releases detailed statement via Amaq along with photo of Khalid al-Logari, who carried out the suicide bombing in Kabul which killed anti-ISKP pro-Taliban ideologue Rahimullah Haqqani. #Afghanistan

Kabul police spox confirmed that besides Rahimullah Haqqani, his brother was also killed in Thursday's suicide bombing in Kabul, which has been claimed by ISKP. His nephew was wounded, along with two other seminary students. #Afghanistan

So like I said before, it's quite likely that the attack on Rahimullah Haqqani included some insider help. Now some Taliban sources are claiming that his driver might be involved in the plot. Very interesting.
