(I sometimes wonder what ever happened with our Northern Alliance friends. One day they were allies, the next - they fell off the face of the earth).

Their leader was killed and we backed Pakistan, who was our enemy.


Ahmad Shah Massoud

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Following the rise of the Taliban in 1996, Massoud, who rejected the Taliban's fundamentalist interpretation of Islam, [6] returned to armed opposition until he eventually fled to Kulob, Tajikistan, destroying the Salang Tunnel on his way north. He became the military and political leader of the United Islamic Front for the Salvation of Afghanistan (also known in the West as the Northern Alliance). He was assassinated, probably at the instigation of al-Qaeda, in a suicide bombing on September 9, 2001, just two days before the September 11 attacks in the United States which led to the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation invading Afghanistan, allying with Massoud's forces.
