The Taliban didn't, but the Mujahadeen (about whom Reagan was speaking) and one of their leaders, bin Laden, did.

"Exiled Saudi millionaire Osama bin Laden remains hidden somewhere in the mountains of Afghanistan. He is wealthy, elusive and an Islamic extremist who is plotting against the United States.
