The intense rivalry between Nur Muhammad Taraki and Hafizullah Amin within the Khalq faction of the PDPA also heated up, culminating in the death -- admittedly the murder -- of Taraki.

The Soviets had at first backed Amin, but they came to believe that he was too rigidly Marxist-Leninist to survive politically in a country as conservative and religious as Afghanistan.

 Afghanistan Country Study

Given the PDPA's unpopularity and its internal purges, the secret police soon had its hands full.
