Jan Baz Zadran

Jan Baz Zadran (sometimes Janbaz Zadran), also known as Jamil or Jalil Haqqani, was a top aide to Pashtun warlord Sirajuddin Haqqani. One of the most-wanted militant commanders in the AfPak theater of operations, Zadran was killed in a US drone strike in Pakistan on 13 October 2011.

Militant activity Zadran was considered a powerful leader in the Haqqani Network, the Islamist militant group that has been the largest killer of American soldiers in Afghanistan.

Hailing from the Haqqanis' home village of Srani in the Garda Tseray district of Paktia, Zadran was said to be one of Sirajuddin's most trusted associates, and was often described as the third-ranking leader of the entire Haqqani Network. Following Zadran's death, a US official in Washington would call him "the most senior Haqqani leader in Pakistan to be taken off the battlefield".
