Attack Of Taliban On New Kabul Bank

For over 2 centuries, Afghanistan has known virtually no time without war. Beginning around 326 B.C. with the conquests of Alexander the Great, to the Persians, British, Russians and most recently, America and our NATO allies, Afghanistan has been cultivated into the country that it is today through a trial by fire. Regardless of this relentless onslaught of foreign military power, the Afghan people have tirelessly defended their homeland with no outside power ever being able to subdue them completely. Following the withdrawal of the Soviet Union in 1989, the country fell into civil war, torn even further apart by fiercely dedicated tribal warlords. This power vacuum led to the rise of a group called the Taliban. Led by a one eyed man

Problems that the Taliban have caused, in real life, have impacted the way that many innocent people in various Arab countries used to live--long ago, life was delectable to many. People lived in a state of tranquility, and could live accompanied by one word: freedom. However, later on, and not long ago, the Taliban created a set of strict, over-the top rules that have not only completely

There was an extreme group called Afghanistan’s government, Also known as The Taliban. They were protecting

The Special Inspector-General for Afghanistan Reconstruction’s (SIGAR) quarterly report for January is a bleak read. At close to 30%, not only do the Taliban hold more Afghan territory than any time after the 2001 invasion, but "The insurgency is spreading (Afghan forces) thin, threatening rural districts in one area while carrying out ambitious attacks in more populated centers." The Taliban trifecta of high-stakes attacks in late 2015 adds weight to SIGAR’s assessment. Moreover, even before militants briefly overran Kunduz, Kandahar airport and besieged Sangin district, UN figures revealed a 19% increase in “security incidents” between August and October.

The US led Afghan war ignited soon after the 9/11 attacks on America, killing approximately 3000 US citizens in New York City at the time of George W Bush’s presidency. The tragic attack was brutally carried out by a prominent Al-Qaida Leader Osama Bin Laden, who had just fled his hometown in Saudi Arabia and was living in Afghanistan’s rugged mountains of Tora Bora. The Taliban Government heavily dominated Afghanistan at the time Osama Bin Laden carried out attacks on US soil, and he claimed responsibility for the attack subsequently. As a result, US requested the then Taliban leaders Mullah Omar to hand over Osama to the US authorities since he was responsible for the ferocious inhumane attacks on the US soil, killing thousands and damaging millions of dollar worth of property for revenge and retaliation purposes. The then Taliban leader rejected the US’s offer and denied giving up Osama to the US authorities considering him a special guest, and giving up guest was significantly against cultural code and values for the Taliban, especially for Mullah Omar – the leader. Therefore, George W Bush declared war on Afghanistan, sending thousands of troops and attacking the country. However, taking revenge, retaliation from Osama, and even demolishing Taliban’s terroristic domination over Afghanistan was a reasonable excuse for the US to take immediate action, but sending thousands of US soldiers who some didn’t make it back home, spending billions of US dollars, which also caused

The Taliban is one of the largest Islamic terrorist organizations in the world, which was founded on 10/10/94. The Taliban held Osama Bin Laden Al-Qaeda’s leader. The Afghan war was the U.S.’s response for the 9/11 attack. They wanted to liberate Afghanistan and stop Osama by any means possible.

The Taliban is an Islamic fundamentalist group that ruled Afghanistan from 1996 until 2001 (Laub). They have impacted the culture in Afghanistan as well as many other aspects of it. The Taliban has certain values that they want to be enforced in Afghanistan. These values have changed since 1996 when they first took control of the country. The Taliban took control after they drove the soviets out from their country. During the time they ruled Afghanistan, they changed several aspects of daily life and imposed several conservative Muslim beliefs. Some effects of their rule are still seen in modern day Afghanistan. They are still trying to take back control over their country and drive Western ideas out. Some aspects of life the Taliban changed

The war between Afghanistan and the United States has been one that has lasted longer than any war; the civil war combined with both World War I and World War II do not match the duration the United States currently faces with Afghanistan. With both countries engaging little to no military conflict, the U.S. continues to be on Afghanistan’s territory, securing the country from the rise of militias potentially threatening our counterpart’s sovereignty. Many people have been arguing whether the US should withdraw from Afghanistan and when. Currently, as the U.S. plans to withdraw from the Afghan nation, the issue is not one that pertains to the U.S. and Afghanistan, for they are not the only two involved. American forces had planned to leave the opponent’s nation but fear the security along with the sovereignty of Afghanistan continues to be one that is porous. The initiation of the war was the 9/11 attack and has been lasting for 13 years. However, many people complain about the extreme high cost of the war The United States should withdraw completely from Afghanistan because of the high cost of the war, popular opinion’s support, and very few al-Qaeda members are left.

One prominent Taliban leader has said that they consider the Afghan government puppets of the Americans. He said they (the Taliban) will continue to be hostile and will not consider negotiating a peace deal until the US is out of the picture (Kill). The US cites the progress they are making in the fact that over 1000 Taliban foot soldiers have defected and “re-integrated”, joining the government’s fight against the Taliban. However, many of these re-integrated soldiers still do not respect the US soldiers, citing their violence and offense to the Afghan culture. One re-integrated soldier named Abdul Aziz was caught on a microphone saying to a local “...the Taliban are still my brothers. Look, we [Aziz and his group of soldiers] don’t like the Americans. We’ve had bad experiences with them. They’re infidels. They’re the enemies of our religion, our nation, and our honor. If God makes the Taliban successful, then we will be Taliban again.” (Kill). Much more recently, it was reported in February 2015 that, only months after the US terminated major military operations in Afghanistan, the Taliban are ready to significantly challenge the new government (Peter). This demonstrates how the Taliban have persisted and resisted through the violence of the Kill/Capture program, and their anger at the Americans looks poised to be spewed onto

Each year, hundreds of thousands of people are being killed at the hands of these evil doers. These terrorists, or radicalists, are religious extremists who had started attacking countries because of their thirst for power. They believe that everyone should be Islamic and follow the rules and the guidelines that the Taliban had created.The Taliban, like many other terrorist groups, murder and torture innocent civilians. They will do anything to have things their way and to have people follow their religious beliefs. In Pakistan and Afghanistan, these assaulters have affected many people in harsh and merciless ways. Men and women are not considered equal. Women are treated as servants and they are forbidden to do some of

detail and reading about the Taliban in this story made my heart ache. The story begun with the Taliban already in

The question is in reference to the American attack of Afghanistan in October 2001, following the supposedly terrorist attack that took place when two hijacked planes crashed into the Twin Tower building in New York. The issue that will be discussed is the speculation that the attack was predominantly based on the past conflict concerning power and oil between the United States government and the Taliban organization. The essay will take on a realist perspective with the understanding that government and non-government actors are inherently selfish in nature and more concerned with relative gains (Kissinger 1979). Firstly, the essay will refute the American claims that the attack was solely based as retaliation for the September 11th incident. Secondly, in order to debate the extent to which the Afghanistan invasion was directly aimed at the Taliban, the many reasons for why the Taliban was targeted will be discussed. The United States attacked Afghanistan because the Taliban refused to accept American conditions

At first with the Taliban Killings did not happen as much, but as time went by they increased continuously. Killings began with sieges, which lasted for a few days. Within those few day thousand of people would die. There was also an increase in suicide bombers. The Taliban would also bomb power stations and that would for there to be no electricity to cook with, forcing the people to starve and go hungry. At some points people would just kill to kill in the taliban, for instance, a man was not wearing a sock above his ankle and refused to do anything about it and they shot him. Malala found it very hard to understand to the fact of why they were killing their own people if Christians and Jews were their enemies why were they killing fellow

September 11, 2001 was a devastating day for the United States (US) and countries that had passengers on the airliners that were involved in the terrorist attack. This triggered the US military to be deployed to Afghanistan to fight the Global War on Terror in an effort to eradicate terrorist organizations, such as the Taliban, Al-Qaeda (AQ), and the Haqqani Network (HQN). Since 2001, there has been success of driving the Taliban from power and the death of Osama Bin Laden; however, the US military has lost over two thousand US Soldiers (Buchanan, 2014). Despite the success the US helped provide, the result is that it started to become a concern on how the elite Afghan Soldiers are heavily reliant on the American presence within the country (Mazzetti, 2015). US forces have the collection and airlift capabilities to suppress terrorist organizations within Afghanistan, whereas the Afghan military lacks sufficient training and equipment to possess these capabilities.

We thought there was a soccer game on or something because all these men were piling in. But as soon as we saw prisoners walking out, with their hands tied behind the back, followed by some Taliban soldiers, we knew it wasn’t a game. I was extremely scared at this point and just wanted to go home, but we couldn’t risk it so Shauzia and I just kept out of site and watched. A couple of soldiers carried out a heavy looking table. One of the men was untied, then held down by soldiers across the table with his hands stretched out. I didn’t want to know what was going to happen next. Suddenly a solder raised a sword above his head and slammed it down onto the man’s wrist. Blood was flying everywhere. The man was crying out in pain. I kept my head down and listened to the sound of the sword slash 6 more wrists.
