KABUL, Afghanistan (Nov. 4, 2012)
In Kunar province Friday, a Haqqani weapons facilitator turned himself in to Afghan and coalition forces.  The detained former Haqqani member is believed to have engineered IED and other attacks targeting Afghan and coalition forces. According to a coalition official, the individual quit the insurgency out of concerns for his own safety and to protect his family.
