Dawn:

The United States has drawn up a list of five militant Islamic leaders it expects Pakistan to provide intelligence about immediately and possibly target in joint operations, including Osama bin Laden deputy Ayman al Zawahiri and Taliban commander Mullah Omar, according to a US official and a Pakistani official.

The list also includes Siraj Haqqani, the operational commander of the Haqqani network, the most violent group in the Afghan Taliban and believed to be run out of the Pakistani tribal areas; Ilyas Kashmiri, a senior member of al Qaeda once dubbed “the next Osama bin Laden”; and Atiya Abdel Rahman, the Libyan operations chief of al Qaeda who had emerged as a key intermediary between bin Laden and al Qaeda’s affiliate networks across the world.

...
Siraj Haqqani maybe the most important on the list. He is in charge of most of the attacks in Afghanistan against NATO troops. We apparently are still under the illusion that there maybe some value to negotiating with former Taliban leader Mullah Omar. I think that is a waste of CO2. The guy is a true believing religious bigot. They probably should just take him out.
