housing the provisions would be untouched.How many a Small Group Overcame a Large Group.Sheikh Jalaaluddeen Haqqani only recounted to me two of his manybattles.The first during the advance, and the second during 1987.He recounted:Our greatest difficulty during the days of the armoured advance was thatwe did not possess any P2,7 anti-tank rockets. We gathered a few dirhamsand roamed around in search of them, hoping to purchase them. Alas, invain. We did not find any. We were about 350 men. One day, theadvancing invaders attacked us with a force consisting of a few thousandmen, tanks, artillery guns and machine guns. The battle lasted two and ahalf days, after which they were defeated. We captured 25 P2,7 rockets,artillery guns, machine guns and 8 tanks. We took a thousand prisoners,each one with a Kalashnikov (AK).The second -- in the year 1982.He reported:We were 59 Mujaahideen when the enemy attacked with a force of 220tanks and transport carriers.
