		The militias of ethnic Uzbek warlord General Abdul Rashid Dostam and his Tajik rival Mohammed Atta have clashed repeatedly in and around Mazar-i-Sharif since the fall of the Taliban in late 2001.
		Atta was appointed governor of Balkh province, which includes Mazar-i-Sharif, ahead of last year's election, while Dostam was appointed chief of staff of the high command of Afghanistan's armed forces last month.
		Atta, however, pinned the blame squarely on Dostam saying it was "the general" who had given out land before the fall of the Taliban in 2001.

		Ustad Atta Muhammad was the Mazar-i-Sharif-based senior commander of the Northern Alliance opposition forces that overthrew the Taliban in 2001.
		Atta Muhammad, an ethnic Tajik, Uzbek Abdul Rashid Dostum and Shi'a Hazara Ustad Mohaqiq were allied together under the Northern Alliance and fought together against the Taliban.

		Discouraging rival warlords from turning their armies on each other is seen as the greatest challenge ahead as interim Prime Minister Hamid Karzai tries to consolidate power in the hands of a stable national government.
		The disarmament followed an agreement between Atta Mohammed, the Tajik leader of the Jamiat-e-Islami faction in the area, and Majid Rozi, a senior lieutenant of Gen. Rashid Dostum's ethnic-Uzbek faction.
		The UN-brokered interim government gave the defence, interior and foreign ministries to ethnic Tajiks, all of whom are from the Panjshir Valley of the Hindu Kush, the heartland of slain northern alliance leader Ahmed Shah Massood.

		Khulm is under the control of Atta Mohammed's faction, and it was unclear how Monday's agreement would affect Dostum's forces.

		Both commanders are under the authority of the Afghan armed forces, but have been accused of acting as semi-autonomous warlords, locked in a struggle for territory in northern Afghanistan.
		General Atta and General Dostum have claimed in the past that much of the fighting between their militias was instigated by their subordinates.
		Afghan Interior Minister Ali Jalali says that while the top commanders are responsible for some of the factional fighting, the general security situation does, in fact, depend heavily on lower-level leaders.

		Mohammed Fahim, one of the country's most powerful warlords who fought to oust the Taliban and al Qaeda, kept his personal militia even after he became defense minister in the government of President Hamid Karzai.
		But many Afghans yearn for an end to the factionalism that has plagued the country since the Soviet withdrawal in 1989, and Fahim has now ordered at least part of his forces handed over to the central government.
		Disarming the warlords who control the provinces is key to allowing aid organizations to speed reconstruction and to tackling booming drug production, from which many commanders are believed to profit.

		Afghan authorities say Muttawakil, now held by the U.S. military, should be put on trial to answer for crimes committed during the Islamic militia's rule.
		But after Afghans complained that they were wrongly targeted, the U.S. military acknowledged that none of the 27 prisoners was al-Qaida or Taliban and released them.

		Mohammed — who is 37, according to Interpol — would have been of college age in the mid-1980s.
		Al-Qabas also reported that he once worked for Abdul-Rab Rasool Sayyaf, an anti-American Afghan warlord who goes by "Professor." During the war against the Soviets and the Najibullah government, Sayyaf was chief of the Ittehad-e-Islami group, which had the largest number of Arab fighters in its ranks.
		Mohammed surfaced again the mid-1990s, as an associate — and possibly a relative — of Ramzi Yousef, working with him on the 1993 World Trade Center bombing plot and a 1995 plan to bomb or hijack trans-Pacific airliners heading for the United States, according to U.S. officials.

		The Afghan, American and British governments were anxious to conclude the accord with General Dostum before the country's constitutional Loya Jirga elections take place next week.
		Recently the American-sponsored interim leader has seen his credibility slip over his inability to control the warlords, the resurgence of Taliban in the Pashtun south, and neglect of Afghan reconstruction by the United States and Britain with their interests focused on Iraq.

		Afghan President Hamid Karzai is likely to be up against as many as a dozen candidates, in a nation where tribal loyalties are still a key factor in elections.
		But he led opposition to the centralized state enshrined in a new constitution pushed through in January, and was accused by Karzai allies of driving a Kabul-appointed governor from a northeastern province in April.

	TCM Breaking News - 2001/11/10: Afghan warlord reclaims his former stronghold
		Afghan warlords have a long tradition of changing sides in mid-battle, and none has switched teams more often than Rashid Dostum, the gruff and burly leader of an ethnic Uzbek faction.
		Dostum, 46, who was in exile in Turkey until recently, returned to prominence when his troops on Friday rolled into Mazar-e-Sharif, the city that served as the headquarters of his northern fiefdom until he was driven out by the Taliban three years ago.
		In 1994, Dostum sided with warlord Gulbuddin Hekmatyar, contributing to the intense, random shelling from the hills outside, a daily barrage that flattened much of the city, killing thousands of civilians and terrorising the rest.
