A suspected U.S. drone strike on an Islamic seminary in Pakistan killed a senior member of the Taliban-linked Haqqani network early on Thursday. Maulvi Ahmad Jan, an adviser to Sirajuddin Haqqani, the feared head of the Taliban-linked Haqqani network, was in the madrassa when at least three rockets hit his room in the Hangu district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa just before sunrise. The group is one of the main enemies of U.S.-led forces in neighboring Afghanistan. A source with Afghanistan's National Directorate of Security intelligence agency confirmed Jan's death. At least four other people also died in the attack but dozens of students sleeping in other rooms were unhurt.
