Originally a Taliban idea endorsed by Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and accepted on behalf of the United Front (formerly the Northern Alliance) by President Burhanuddin Rabbani in early January 1998, the proposal took shape as a proposed commission of ulema, or religious scholars, to settle the Afghan conflict in the light of the shariah.
Rabbani's body was repatriated to the southern Afghan city of Kandahar by a UN plane, permitted to operate on humanitarian grounds despite the air embargo against the Taliban Movement.

 KABUL'S NEW ISLAMIC RULE
Rabbani had allowed Najibullah to live after he was overthrown in 1992, and the former President had spent the past 4 1/2 years as a captive in a United Nations compound.
Many cheered at the gory spectacle--Najibullah had been nicknamed the "Butcher of Kabul" for his brutal, Soviet-backed rule, and his brother had served as his security chief--but that was probably in memory of past miseries, not with solid hopes for the future.
The night the insurgents arrived, most of Rabbani and Hekmatyar's forces had already fled, and the city was taken with no resistance.

Rabbani's dog is typical of the muscular mutts used as fighters — nothing at all like the willowy Afghan hound breed long associated with the country.
