Afghanistan’s Taliban has given monetary value to each of the suicide bombers they used during the war against the former government and its Western allies.
Sirajuddin Haqqani, the acting interior ministry gave the value as $111, the equivalent of 10,000 Afghani.
Haqqani gave out the money to each of the families of the bombers at a ceremony at the Intercontinental Hotel in Kabul, which was itself targeted by suicide bombers in 2018.
He also gave out clothing and made promises of land allocations to the families.
Haqqani had a $10 million U.S. bounty on his head as a “specially designated global terrorist” during the war.
He is still living in dread of the tag as official photographs of the meeting on Tuesday obscured his face.
