	RAWA.org: 'Gulbuddin Hekmatyar had links with KGB'
		The worse part of the story is that the Hekmatyar group was already working for the KGB and had in fact co-operated with the Soviet troops in persecution and subsequent defeat of other resistance factions.
		Hekmatyar is also termed in the report as a commander who killed more Mujahideen than Soviet Afghan soldiers.
		The Hekmatyar phenomenon of violence occurred when General Hameed Gul was the ISI chief and later though officially retired, often found himself in Peshawar while General Asif Durrani sat as the Director General in ISI in Islamabad.

	Sobaka :: Dossier: Gulbuddin Hekmatyar (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Hekmatyar's organization betrayed him, his friends use him as a bargaining chip and his circle of followers, which once spread across the breadth of Central Asia, is narrowed down to his nomadic kinsmen and a few disparate fanatics built in his own image.
		Hekmatyar was there for all of it: the rise of the Islamist movement and the Soviet invasion, the exile in Peshawar, the triumphant return at the head of the largest Mujahedin faction in the country and the collapse of the Afghan opposition which gave flight to the white flag of the Taleban.
		Gulbuddin Hekmatyar was born in 1947, the son of nomads newly arrived in Konduz province from the south.

	Gulbuddin Hekmatyar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Gulbuddin Hekmatyar (born 1947 in Imam Saheb, Kunduz province, Afghanistan) is an Afghan warlord.
		During the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, Hekmatyar received billions of dollars in military assistance from Pakistan's ISI and funds the CIA channeled to the mujahadeen through the ISI.
		The CIA and ISI decisions to allocate the highest percentage of covert aid to Hekmatyar were certainly based on his record as an effective anti-Soviet military commander in Afghanistan.

	The CIA attempts political assassination in Afghanistan
		Hekmatyar’s real crime in the eyes of Washington is that he has opposed the US invasion of Afghanistan and branded the Karzai administration in Kabul for what it is—a puppet regime at the beck and call of the US and other major powers.
		Hekmatyar has never been a force for stability in Afghanistan.” In other words, the primary reason that the CIA targetted the former prime minister was that he posed a political threat to US plans in Afghanistan.
		Concerned that Hekmatyar may become a focus for the anti-US sentiment that is gathering, particularly in the Pashtun areas in the southeast of the country, which have been subject to months of bombing and military assaults, the CIA decided to eliminate him.

	Operation Enduring Freedom - Gulbuddin Hekmatyar: The Re-emergence of a Warlord
		The forceful reemergence of Hekmatyar and the ideologically-aligned elements of al Qaeda and the Taliban that are apparently regrouping under his patronage presents a long-term threat to peace and stability in Afghanistan.
		Hekmatyar and his organization use violent means to serve their sought end of establishing an Afghanistan under Hezb-I-Islami's fundamentalist ideology — one that embraces Islam's Hanbali School of Jurisprudence and accepts a version of Islam similar to that of the Taliban.
		Hekmatyar, in addition to being spotted in at least six Afghan provinces in recent months, seems to favor the ethnic Pashtun corridor of Pakistan and Afghanistan as a redoubt.

		Should Hekmatyar resist the US overtures - he does know the territory, he was the US's darling during the anti-Soviet resistance days, now he's a "terrorist" - the prospects of all-out war in Afghanistan become all too real.

		Driven by the burning desire to see the last foreign soldier booted out of Afghanistan, Hekmatyar, who made his name as a fighter against Soviet occupation in the 1980s, earlier this week issued a jihad for the expulsion of the unwanted soldiers from Afghan soil.
		Hekmatyar was the strongest force during the years of Soviet occupation, largely because his HIA was the main benefactor of the seven official mujahideen groups recognized by Pakistan and US intelligence agencies for the channelling of money and arms.
		Hekmatyar has also begun a campaign to win hearts and minds with a taped speech released all over eastern Afghanistan in which he queries why it is that only Pashtuns are the targets of US bombing, and not Tajiks and Uzbeks.
