PAKISTAN is investigating whether the son of the founder of the powerful Haqqani militant network, which has been blamed for high-profile attacks and kidnappings in Afghanistan, has been killed in a US drone strike<\/p>\n
.If confirmed, the death of Badruddin Haqqani, who has been described as the networks day-to-day operations commander, would mark a major blow to the organisation founded by his father, Jalaluddin Haqqani, and viewed by the US as a powerful enemy in neighbouring Afghanistan.<\/p>\n
