The Afghan Taliban today condemned the killing of a senior Haqqani network leader but said his death would not have any impact on the militants' campaign of violence.

Unidentified gunmen gunned down Nasiruddin Haqqani, eldest son of the group's founder, as he bought bread on the edge of Islamabad on Sunday evening.

Haqqani was the chief financier of the Haqqani militant network who are affiliated with Afghan Taliban and are the most feared group fighting US-led and Afghan forces in Afghanistan.
