Old “veritable arm” amputated. A new one taking shape? That phrase dates back to 2011, when Mike Mullen told the US Senate that the Haqqani Network functioned as a “veritable arm” of Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence, a remark that echoed through two decades of debate about the role of GHQ Rawalpindi in the Afghan conflict. Fast forward to today, and the irony is hard to miss. Last week, Sirajuddin Haqqani warned that Afghanistan would defend itself against Pakistani cross-durand strikes, accusing Islamabad of bombing civilian areas in Behsud and Khas Kunar, including Gardi Kas village and the Hijrat Abad refugee camp. Days later, another striking development: Haji Mali Khan, the deputy chief of staff of the Taliban army and Siraj Haqqani’s uncle reportedly appeared on the front line and targeted a Pakistani border forces outpost with an anti-armour rocket launcher. If confirmed, it would mark the first time a senior Taliban official has openly surfaced in frontline action against Pakistan. Which raises an uncomfortable question. If the Haqqani network was once a “veritable arm” of Pakistan’s security apparatus, what are we witnessing now? Has that arm been amputated or simply turned? And if so, what new “arms” might be quietly taking shape in the laboratories of Rawalpindi’s security establishment? History offers a sobering lesson: proxies are rarely obedient forever. They mutate, fragment, and eventually follow their own logic. The tragedy, as always, is that the fire being played with is not abstract strategy, it burns villages, and ordinary people. And once that fire spreads, it rarely stays within the lines drawn in Rawalpindi.
