According to a ticker on Dunya News. My question is what was he doing in Islamabad in the first place, and who has killed him?

Re: Jalaluddin Haqqani's son Nasiruddin shot dead in Islamabad
Some sources are saying that its Zabiullah Mujahid (taleban spokesman). This makes it more interesting as to who could be behind this killing (CIA or ISI)? It seems as if we are inching towards the final battle.
Re: Jalaluddin Haqqani's son Nasiruddin/Zabiullah Mujahid shot dead in Islamabad
US will leave in 2014 with a big mess behind. they are making sure that AfGhans will keep fighting for another 100 years...more headache for Pakistan. sadly!
Re: Jalaluddin Haqqani's son Nasiruddin/Zabiullah Mujahid shot dead in Islamabad
^ Pakistan it seems will be in a bigger mess. Leave aside talks with ttp, i see Pakistan having to take all factions of taleban in 2014.
Re: Jalaluddin Haqqani’s son Nasiruddin/Zabiullah Mujahid shot dead in Islamabad
Senior Haqqani Network leader killed near Islamabad – The Express Tribune
Dr Naseer had been mainly involved in dialogue-related affairs of the group.
Dr Naseer was Afghan fighter Jalaluddin Haqqani’s eldest son. Jalaluddin’s three other sons were also killed.
Born in Neka district of Paktika province, Afghanistan, Dr Naseer was put on UN Security Council’s sanction list of individuals who were subjected to assets freeze, travel ban and arms embargo.
According to the details provided in the sanction list, Dr Naseer had travelled to Saudi Arabia and theUnited Arab Emirates to raise funds for the Taliban and operates from Pakistan’s North Waziristan.
Re: Jalaluddin Haqqani’s son Nasiruddin/Zabiullah Mujahid shot dead in Islamabad
interesting :hmmm:
The sources told CBS News Islamabad bureau chief Maria Usman that Haqqani was gunned down outside a bakery in the northeast Islamabad neighborhood of Bhara Kahu.
The assailants fled the scene, and there was no immediate claim of responsibility for the shooting.
A source in one of Pakistan’s other powerful Islamic extremist organizations, the TTP, or Pakistani Taliban, told CBS News’ Sami Yousafzai on Monday that was friction between the two groups.
The source said TTP (Tehreek-e-Taliban) leader Hakimullah Mehsud, who was killed in a Nov. 1 U.S. missile strike in Pakistan’s volatile North Waziristan region, had angrily referred to the Haqqani brothers as “puppets” of the country’s intelligence agency just before his death.
A former minister in Afghanistan’s Taliban government, which was toppled in the 2001 U.S. military invasion following the Sept. 11 terror attacks on New York and Washington, told CBS News that the slain Haqqani was the group’s representative to the Quetta Shura – the Afghan Taliban’s pseudo administration-in-exile, based in the sprawling southern Pakistani city of the same name.
“He was the main fundraiser of the Haqqani network in Gulf states, and had warm relations with al Qaeda and foreign fighters,” the former Taliban minister told Yousafzai, on the condition he not be further identified.
Re: Jalaluddin Haqqani's son Nasiruddin/Zabiullah Mujahid shot dead in Islamabad
Haqqani Network had vowed to avenge Mehsud's death within three days in Afghanistan. Why TTP would open a new front at a critical juncture?
Re: Jalaluddin Haqqani's son Nasiruddin/Zabiullah Mujahid shot dead in Islamabad
^ Some forces have closed the door of negotiations between TTP and Pakistan government, the next step is to push all militant groups towards Pakistan. Their job in Afghanistan is finished, 2014 can be very dangerous for Pakistan and the government is not upto the challenge.

^ it seems as if they are more scared of sorcery… 
US should start employing jadugars instead of drone operators.
Re: Jalaluddin Haqqani's son Nasiruddin shot dead in Islamabad
Now Munawar Hasan will say that sorcery is forbidden in Islam. Pakistan's rulers should not stoop so low.
Re: Jalaluddin Haqqani’s son Nasiruddin shot dead in Islamabad
In telephone interviews from Peshawar and the tribal belt, two Haqqani network commanders confirmed that Nasiruddin, who was designated by the United States as a “global terrorist” in 2010, had been killed.
“We have received his body, and the funeral has taken place,” said Gul Hassan, a commander in North Waziristan, the main hub of Haqqani network activity in Pakistan’s tribal belt.
“The mujahedeen are in shock,” said Mr. Gul, describing the dead militant as “a devoted brother who had been doing jihad against the crusaders.”
A Pakistani intelligence official, speaking on the customary condition of anonymity, said that after funeral prayers in Miram Shah, the main town in North Waziristan, Mr. Haqqani was buried in the family graveyard at Danday Darpa Khel — the same village where Hakimullah Mehsud, the leader of the Pakistani Taliban, was killed in an American drone strike on Nov. 1.
It is unclear whether the two events are linked. An Afghan intelligence official, speaking in Kabul, said that preliminary intelligence assessments showed that Mr. Haqqani died as a result of a family dispute.
**A tribal leader in the eastern Afghan province of Khost, which is the main stronghold of the Haqqani tribe, noted that Nasiruddin Haqqani had a long-running financial dispute with a cousin, Ishaq, whom he had accused of working with Afghan intelligence officials.
**The fact that Mr. Haqqani was killed on the edge of the Pakistani capital was a major embarrassment to the Pakistani government, underscoring long-held accusations that the Haqqani network operates with ease inside the country, and not just inside the tribal belt.
“Another Abottabad? Massive Embarrassment,” Talat Hussain, a senior television journalist, said on Twitter, referring to the embarrassment caused by the American commando assault that killed Osama bin Laden in Abbottabad, near Islamabad, in May 2011.
Re: Jalaluddin Haqqani's son Nasiruddin shot dead in Islamabad
Taleban are alleging that ISI is behind this killing, but I don't believe it as it is damning for Pakistani security establishment that a key member of Haqqani Network was killed in Pakistan. This seems to be more of the work of TTP, Afghan intelligence and CIA.
It seems as if now Afghan intelligence is out maneuvering ISI, aah strategic depth (in reverse).
Re: Jalaluddin Haqqani's son Nasiruddin shot dead in Islamabad
Handiwork of CIA, nothing else.

Pro-Taliban or Taliban apologist elements claim that when drone or Pakistan army kills innocent person by mistake (as obviously they never kill anyone innocent intentionally), relatives (and friends) of those killed become Taliban for revenge and kill innocent Pakistanis (intentionally).
If their theory is right, than when Taliban kill innocent Pakistanis (intentionally), relatives (and friends) of those who get killed become Taliban killers (whose number must be increasing exponentially, as Taliban are killing innocent people all the time)
So, it is possible that this Taliban leader got killed by Taliban Killer, whose innocent relatives (or friends) Taliban must have killed in past.
So, one should not outright start blaming ISI, army, CIA, or Afghan intelligence, rather, if Taliban (and their supporters, financiers, and sympathisers) do not want that their loved ones get killed wherever they are found unprotected, then they should take off their animal skin and become human.
Re: Jalaluddin Haqqani's son Nasiruddin shot dead in Islamabad
Dot-connecting is become awfully difficult with every passing days.
Re: Jalaluddin Haqqani's son Nasiruddin shot dead in Islamabad
As things are going on in Pakistan, I really fear the day (or maybe waiting for that day, that is coming closer and closer) when Pakistan state would become weak and ‘law and order’ situation breaks down to extend, that 'victims of Taliban' would take up arms and killing would become norm (though that state is always there half-way in Pakistan, due to tribal culture).
And then, whenever people amongst masses (victims of Taliban, including many in Pakistan armed forces and police) would see anyone whom they believe is Taliban, their supporters, sympathisers, apologisers, financiers, protectors, etc … or whoever they would think have links with Taliban in anyway, they would start killing them and their family members brutally, wherever they would be found … in mosques, madrassas, markets, their own houses, public gatherings, or public places.
[One should remember Kayani warning to Taliban in Sept this year:
Islamabad: Pakistani army chief General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani on Monday delivered a tough warning to terrorists a day after a roadside bomb attack, owned by Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP), killed two senior army officers near the Afghan border in north western Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province.
Reiterating the army’s “resolve and unflinching commitment in fighting terrorism in accordance with the will of the nation at any cost,” Gen Kayani vowed “to spare no effort in bringing the perpetrators of these cowardly acts of terrorism to justice.”]

This is what I rue the most — it should have been an official policy and the state should have owned the killing. It would have had a tremendously strong impact on the TTP that if army top brass isn't safe, than TTP's top brass isn't safe either. And it would have also boosted morale of the nation knowing that the country has the ability to fight back.
