Taliban forms acting government in Afghanistan, saying permanent leadership to be named soon, as protests grow

Members of the Haqqani network, an insurgent group closely allied with the Taliban that has been labeled a terrorist organization by the United States, were also named to head two ministries, including Sirajuddin Haqqani, who was appointed as the acting interior minister. Haqqani, the leader of the network, is on the FBI’s most wanted list in connection with a 2008 terrorist attack in Kabul that killed six people, including a U.S. citizen.
