US lifts $10 million bounty on Taliban leader Sirajuddin Haqqani: Afghan official

The United States has lifted a $10 million reward offer for information leading to the arrest of a major Taliban leader, Sirajuddin Haqqani, an Afghan interior ministry spokesperson said on Saturday.

The US State Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

The FBI still lists the reward on its website, saying Haqqani was “believed to have coordinated and participated in cross-border attacks against the United States and coalition forces in Afghanistan”.
