Khalil Haqqani, one of America's most wanted terrorists, has led prayers for Taliban fighters in Kabul where he was greeted by adoring fans.
The Taliban fundraiser, who also has links to Al Qaeda, has a $5million bounty on his head but was cheered on the streets of Kabul before he led prayers at the city's biggest mosque.
Haqqani is now an integral part of the Taliban's moves to set up a government and he had armed escorts as he entered the religious building.
After a sermon by the imam, Haqqani told the crowd, according to The New York Times: 'Our first priority for Afghanistan is security.
'If there is no security, there is no life. We will give security, then we will give economy, trade, education for men and women. There will be no discrimination.'
His speech was greeted by cheers from the crowd, showing the significant support for the Taliban in the heart of Afghanistan.
Haqqani is part of the Haqqani network which has played a major role in the rise of the Taliban in Afghanistan.
