Abstract :Taliban, the Islamic warriors of Afghanistan, live up to their words. `Taliban victory will set a model for other Muslim nations to follow,` Maulvi Wakil Ahmad Mutawakil, the Taliban Foreign Minister, told me in an interview in Kandahar in February 1995. The Taliban had by then captured only onethird of Afghanistan and their victory in the rest of the country was far from certain. But what was increasingly visible was the expansionist ambitions of the Islamic student militia: `We will go and fight for our Muslim brethren elsewhere in the world, in Bosnia and Chechnya,` said Maulvi Amir Khan Muttaqi, the former Information Minister, recently appointed as the Taliban Emissary for Peace
