Afghanistan: Mecca For Terrorists Mujahadeen Commander A Player In Taliban Government

Khalil Haqqani, long on America’s terrorist list, is welcomed by cheering crowds in Kabul.

"Founded by the renowned mujahedeen commander Jalaluddin Haqqani in the late 1970s, the family’s network is suspected of aiding in Osama bin Laden’s escape from Tora Bora in 2001. Khalil Haqqani is Jalaluddin’s brother, and the uncle of the Taliban’s deputy leader, Sirajuddin Haqqani."Founded by the renowned mujahedeen commander Jalaluddin Haqqani in the late 1970s, the family’s network is suspected of aiding in Osama bin Laden’s escape from Tora Bora in 2001.

After the U.S. invasion, the Haqqani family ran an operation that vexed and complicated the war effort for years.

During the conflict, the Haqqanis refined a signature brand of urban terrorist attacks and cultivated a sophisticated international fund-raising network. It was a major factor in the United States military’s push to keep troops in Afghanistan.

The Haqqani network has kidnapped and held for ransom many foreigners over the years, including a New York Times journalist, his interpreter and their driver, in 2008. The reporter and interpreter escaped after eight months, and the driver a month later.

Khalil Haqqani is on both the U.S. and United Nations terrorist lists. And along with several members of the family, he is now playing a prominent role in the new Taliban regime.

"Koshiro Tanaka, a 40-something Japanese citizen and Karate instructor who volunteered to fight for the Mujaheddin during the Soviet-Afghan War, 1980s. He wasn't a Muslim, and he certainly wasn't an Afghan. He just hated communism. Tanaka spent four years fighting Soviets, and upon his returned was met with universal scorn in pacifistic Japan. Upon his return, he gave a few words describing what he, a Japanese man, was doing in Islamic Afghanistan, fighting Russians: "They [the Soviets] don't want peace, they want land," In short, he got bored with teaching Karate to effeminate men, working a 9-5 job, and decided he'd rather do some gangster shit, and blow up some communists in the process. He still teaches Karate to this day as a highly ranked black belt." -Hank, Fireforce Ventures (FB)

Maya Evans: Kabul was clean then, not like today. The rivers, which now contain more rubbish than water, were a source of life and leisure for Afghans, with people fishing on the banks and even swimming.
