Pakistani Political And Religious Leader Sami-ul-haq Killed by drewsman: 8:59pm On Nov 02, 2018
The octogenarian, who was known for
his Afghan Taliban support, was found
dead at his residence in city of
Rawalpindi.

A Pakistani political and religious leader
has been killed by unknown attackers
at his residence in the northern city of
Rawalpindi, according to family
members and officials.
Sami-ul-Haq, 80, was stabbed to death
in his bed on Friday, his son
Hamidullah told local television news
channel ARY by telephone.
"He was resting in his room ... He had
been ill, and was a heart patient," said
Hamidullah.
"His guard had left the room for 15
minutes, when he returned he found
Maulana [Haq]'s body covered in blood
in his bed."

Saeed-ur-Rehman Sarwar, a leader of
Haq's JUI-S political party, also
confirmed the killing.
"Maulana Sami-ul-Haq has been killed,"
he said from outside the government
hospital where his body was taken.

Who was Sami-ul-Haq?

A divisive figure,
Haq was known
as the "Father of
the Taliban".
He led the
ideological fight
that led to the formation of the
mujahideen force that first fought the
Soviet invasion of Afghanistan , and
later morphed into the Afghan Taliban .
Haq was the chief of the Darul Uloom
Haqqania seminary in the northern
Pakistani town of Akora Khattak, the
alma mater of several senior leaders of
the Afghan Taliban, including former
chief Mullah Omar and Mullah Akhtar
Mansour.
He openly backed the Afghan Taliban in
its fight against the Afghan government
and the United States-led NATO forces
in Pakistan's northwestern neighbour.
Within Pakistan, Haq was considered a
hardline right-wing religious leader, but
his party contested elections, rather
than outright backing armed struggle
against the state, as was undertaken by
the Pakistan Taliban .
He was a former senator, having served
in Pakistan's upper house of parliament
for multiple terms in the 1980s and
1990s, and again from 2003 to 2009.
Prime Minister Imran Khan , in China on
a state visit, issued a statement
condemning the attack on Haq.
