Afghanistan's Endless Jihad: The Mujahideen Vs The Soviets (1979)

Afghan Jihad (1979): A look back at the mujahiddin who fought the Soviet-backed government of Afghanistan with US support, and who then fought against the NATO forces who invaded in 2001

In 1979 the mujahiddin of Afghanistan rebelled against an Soviet-backed central government. The US threw its financial and technological resources behind the rebel movement, offering support in any way it could. We travel into the remote Kumar Valley and find that back in 1979 the US was arming the likes Gulbuddin Hekmatyar and his organisation Hizb-e-Islamia - the very group now waging a vicious counter insurgency against Allied forces.
