**Additional information from the narrative summary of reasons for listing provided by the Sanctions Committee**:                  

Badruddin Haqqani is the operational commander for the Haqqani Network, a Taliban-affiliated group of militants that operates                     from North Waziristan Agency in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas of Pakistan. The Haqqani Network has been at the forefront                     of insurgent activity in Afghanistan, responsible for many high-profile attacks. The Haqqani Network's leadership consists                     of the three eldest sons of its founder Jalaluddin Haqqani, who joined Mullah Mohammed Omar's Taliban regime in the mid-1990s.                     Badruddin is the son of Jalaluddin and brother to Nasiruddin Haqqani and Sirajuddin Haqqani, as well as nephew of Mohammad                     Ibrahim Omari and Khalil Ahmed Haqqani.                  

Badruddin helps lead Taliban associated insurgents and foreign fighters in attacks against targets in south-eastern Afghanistan.                     Badruddin sits on the Miram Shah shura of the Taliban, which has authority over Haqqani Network activities.                  

Badruddin is assumed to be one of the most important military leaders and planners of suicide attacks within the Haqqani Network                     which commands about 1 000 fighters. The Haqqani Network is responsible for a large number of the attacks that have occurred                     in eastern Afghanistan and in Kabul. Badruddin is deemed to be directly involved in attacks against foreign and Afghan forces                     as well as against civilians; he cooperates closely with other terrorist organizations such as Al-Qaida and the Islamic Movement                     of Uzbekistan.                  

Badruddin is also believed to be in charge of kidnappings for the Haqqani Network. He has been responsible for the kidnapping                     of numerous Afghans and foreign nationals in the Afghanistan-Pakistan border region.
