During the 1980s jihad against the Soviet occupation he was Pakistan�s favoured mujahideen leader and as a result received the largest slice of the billions of dollars of support given by the US and Saudi Arabia, as well as Stinger anti-aircraft missiles. His relations with Pakistan, particularly the powerful Inter-Services Intelligence directorate, remained strong after the Soviets left. In 1993 he became prime minister in Kabul but in the years of mujahideen factional fighting which followed, he was responsible for destroying much of the capital. When the Taleban came to power, he moved into exile in Tehran until his office was closed down late last year. The warlord then disappeared and was rumoured to have returned to Afghanistan. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
