to drive them out of afghanistan in the 1980's. - the mujahideen, during the afghan war, were generally engaged in a war of liberation against the soviet union. it was a war of liberation that was given religious connotations because that idea of jihad against the soviet union, it made the war legitimate, and it also allowed them to tap into resources across the muslim world in form of money and fighters. - the kingdom, along with the united states, and other friends in the area, joined together to try to challenge this expansion of communist influence throughout our part of the world. we worked very closely in helping the then mujahideen against the soviet forces in afghanistan with pakistan as another partner. - [narrator] but after the soviet withdrawal, the taliban rose to power. - the taliban is a primarily pashtun afghan movement, so it comes from religious students who were disgusted with what had happened in afghanistan after the end of the war with the soviets. there was a big civil war, a lot of warlordism and looting. - they very quickly gain the attention of various elements

and among those assets mujahideen fighters allies of pakistan who in one thousand nine hundred eighty s. had been waging war in neighboring afghanistan when the soviets pulled out of afghanistan a lot of the would have been with nothing else to do were diverted by their pakistani handlers to for meant violence in kashmir and they principally are the ones responsible for the destruction of kashmir. armed by pakistan to battle hardened muslim fighters poured into indian administered kashmir. india hit back hard crushing the armed movement and anyone thought to be supporting it kashmir is remained pretty neutral until the one nine hundred ninety s. when excessive violence by indian security forces which in many cases raped kashmiri women behaved in a terrible man and they were terrible torture chambers set up in kashmir with electric shocks being used on the genitals of young kashmiri kids i mean lots and lots of horrors took place and kashmir is today of a very alienated very very alienated from india not all of them want to be part of pakistan either. i certainly would not suggest that
