	Terrorism - Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan (IMU) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		The IMU's creation was announced from Kabul by Namangani and Yuldeshev, the latter having settled here by this time as a guest of the Taliban.
		In addition, the IMU was responsible for a series of car bombings in the Uzbek capital of Tashkent which killed 16 people in 1999, as well as numerous kidnappings, including that of four American mountaineers who escaped after being held for six days in August 2000.
		More recently, significant numbers of IMU fighters were involved in the battle in the Shah-I-Kot valley, and there is little doubt that the organization has suffered heavy losses at the hands of U.S. and coalition forces.
