Balach (Persian: بالاچ) was one of Haissam Haqqani's most trusted lieutenants and played a key role in convincing him to seek an end to the war in Afghanistan.
Biography[]
After Haqqani is executed by Afghan authorities, his son Jalal takes over the Taliban. The younger Haqqani's warmongering ways frequently put him at odds with Balach, who begrudgingly follows Jamal's orders.
Jalal eventually forces Balach to carry out a suicide attack on the Americans, threatening to murder his family if he does not comply. Balach reluctantly drives to the Afghanistan-Pakistan border where a number of CIA operatives are being released from custody, and detonates a bomb rigged to his car, killing all the operatives as well as himself.
