In 2009, Khalil was one of several people responsible for the detention of individuals captured by the Taliban and the HQN. Khalil has conducted operations for the Taliban on orders from his nephew, Sirajuddin Haqqani, the overall HQN leader and deputy leader of the Taliban. Khalil has also acted on behalf of al-Qa’ida (AQ) and has been linked to AQ terrorist operations. In 2002, he deployed fighters to reinforce AQ elements in Paktia Province, Afghanistan.

As a result of this designation, among other consequences, all property and interests in property of Khalil Haqqani that are subject to U.S. jurisdiction are blocked, and U.S. persons are generally prohibited from engaging in any transactions with Khalil Haqqani. In addition, it is a crime to knowingly provide, or attempt or conspire to provide, material support or resources to the FTO HQN.
