Editing Sirajuddin Haqqani (section)

===Early life===
Sirajuddin Haqqani is the son of [[Jalaluddin Haqqani]], a Pashtun mujahid and military leader of pro-Taliban forces in Afghanistan and Pakistan.

Born in December 1979, Sirajuddin, who has brothers from both of his father's wives, Jalaluddin having also married an Arab woman whose children live with her in the United Arab Emirates, grew up in Pakistan. Like his other siblings, he was initially homeschooled by his father before enrolling at the Anjuman Uloom Al-Qur’an, a madrasa in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, in 1984, at the age of 5.

He spent his childhood in Miramshah, North Waziristan, Pakistan, and later attended Darul Uloom Haqqania, an influential Deobandi Islamic seminary in Akora Khattak, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan, known to produce many graduates who ultimately join the Taliban.

His younger brother [[Mohammad Haqqani]], also a member of the network, died in a drone attack on February 18, 2010, in Dande Darpakhel, a village in North Waziristan.
