The Haqqani Network is a Taliban-affiliated group of militants that operates from North Waziristan Agency in the Federally                     Administered Tribal Areas of Pakistan. It has been at the forefront of insurgent activity in Afghanistan, responsible for                     many high-profile attacks.

In 2004, Haqqani                     travelled to Saudi Arabia with a Taliban associate to raise funds for the Taliban. He also provided funds in 2004 to militants                     in Afghanistan for the purpose of disrupting the Afghan presidential election. From at least 2005 to 2008, Nasiruddin Haqqani                     collected funds for the Haqqani Network through various fundraising trips, including during regular travel to the United Arab                     Emirates in 2007 and through a fundraising trip to another Gulf state in 2008. As of mid-2007, Haqqani reportedly had three                     main sources of funding: donations from the Gulf region, drug trafficking, and payments from Al-Qaida. In late 2009, Nasiruddin                     Haqqani received several hundred thousand dollars from Al- Qaida-associated individuals in the Arabian Peninsula to use for                     Haqqani Network activities.
