BBC: Afghan militant leader Jalaluddin Haqqani 'has died'
Jalaluddin Haqqani, the Afghan founder of the militant Haqqani network, died at least a year ago, sources close to the group have told the BBC.
Haqqani died after a long illness and was buried in Afghanistan, the sources added.
Rumours about Haqqani's death have circulated for some years and can still not be independently confirmed.
The latest report comes a day after the Taliban acknowledged that its leader, Mullah Omar, was dead.
Reports of Haqqani's death, quoting Taliban sources, also appeared in Pakistani media on Friday. One senior Afghan official said he had died six years ago.
