There were many battles between the Afghani Taliban, and the Northern Alliance(Massoud's army). The Northern Alliance is known to have said that fighting the Talibanwas fair and balanced, but the AQ fighters were lethal.The secret behind this is because many old generation Afghans were happy with a longlife and dying in the presence of their families, whereas many Arabs were wishing formartyrdom and did extremely daring acts just for this* - making them lethal fighters tothe death.(*Example: The AQ volunteers pitched bright white tents in the Russian Jihad so theenemy could see them and bombard them, since they desired martyrdom so much.)The End of Massoud:Since the Taliban had a greater and an ever increasing influence in Afghanistan in thelate 90s, the USA (CIA - Central Intelligence Agency) wanted to prevent this influencefrom expanding too quickly. To do this, the CIA gave financial aid to Massoud and hisNorthern Alliance group. This groups main role was to oppose the Taliban's agenda ofan Islamic state, and for Massoud to setup his own government within the capital and tomake a more stable Afghanistan which was under US influence and control.Massoud was a cunning enemy, he would often get money (sometimes upto half amillion dollars) from the USA, and then make excuses as to why he wasn't able toachieve anything with it. The Afghans are known to be clever and shrewd people whonever listen to an outside authority.* This would be another big downfall for the futurefall of the USA. (It is a known fact that many Afghan forces who work now for the Karzaigovernment are not obedient and often disloyal to their NATO and USA instructors,sometimes not even doing things in their own favor out of stubbornness, and wantingto prove their independence.)The Taliban therefore faced an enemy who was continuously being funded by the USA,with more funds - Massoud could get more men, a greater threat to the Talibanestablishing a stable Islamic state. So Osama promised a solution to the Taliban.Massoud was known to be extremely eloquent in portraying to the western media thathe was a freedom fighter who wanted stability in Afghanistan. All the western fundswere directed to him, and he led the Northern Alliance. How could the Taliban stop him?Osama had an idea. He had some Arab men who were from the Islamic Maghrib(countries including; Morocco, Tunisia, Algeria). It's known that these lands were taken23
