Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will notify Congress Friday of her intent to formally designate the Pakistan-based Haqqani network as a terror organization, two senior administration officials told CNN.
The designation of the group as a Foreign Terrorist Organization would make it easier to pursue those who provide support for the al Qaeda- and Taliban-linked movement. But it could further deteriorate relations with Pakistan.
"The secretary expects to send the report on the Haqqani network to Congress today," said a senior State Department official, who spoke on condition of anonymity. The official was not authorized to offer details of the report ahead of its submission to Congress.

rightly said.
Good morning @chrissy. Don't mind@Hamsta. A passionate and dedicated die hard standing up for what Repubs and the likes of Tea Party stand for. With elections not too far in the distance, lets leave it to the voters.
Now these Haqqanis hail from S.East Afghanistan , a tribe integral to Afghanistan. And fighting American led NATO forces.
They were nurtured, armed and trained by the CIA and ISI during the 80's.
Labeling them terrorists would hardly help our 'cause" (whatever that is) in Afghanistan.

Hillary ought to put her husband on the terror list after what he did to "that woman, Miss Lewinsky". We sweep that under the carpet time after time. He's a liar and he cheated on his wife. What's right about that?
Biggest terrorist on earth are Israel and US. Have to guts to say anything to Israel? Jew lover hairy Hillary?
