Taliban members recently shared an old video on the social media platform X, showing Sirajuddin Haqqani and his brother, Badruddin Haqqani, bidding farewell to a young teenage suicide bomber named Jamaluddin. In a post accompanying the video, Taliban member Abdullah Raihan explained that the footage captures the moment when "Jamaluddin was sent on a mission to assassinate a foreign leader at the time." Raihan added that "Jamaluddin did not succeed in his mission that day." The exact time and location of the video recording are unknown. In addition to Sirajuddin Haqqani, the current Taliban interior minister, Badruddin Haqqani is also seen in the video. Badruddin, Sirajuddin's brother, was known as "one of the two main figures in the Haqqani family-led network." Raihan also mentioned that "Badruddin had prepared and directed dozens of suicide bombers for complex and successful operations that left the enemy shocked and stunned." The Taliban member further noted that Jamaluddin was eventually killed alongside Badruddin Haqqani in a US drone strike. However, he did not specify the location of Badruddin's assassination. The Haqqani family confirmed to the media in 2012 that Badruddin Haqqani was killed on 24 August 2012, in a US strike in North Waziristan, Pakistan. Most of the suicide attacks against Afghanistan over the past 20 years were planned and directed from North Waziristan, Pakistan. According to human rights organisations, many of the Taliban's suicide bombers were children and teenagers who had been "brainwashed" by the group.

An Afghan women’s movement expressed support for the warning from the Netherlands, Germany, Canada, and Australia to hold the Taliban accountable in the Hague Court for systematic discrimination against women. These women urge other countries and the United Nations to recognise the gender apartheid imposed in Afghanistan and hold the Taliban accountable for their anti-humanitarian actions against women.
