	Sobaka :: Dossier: Tahir Yuldashev (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Tahir Yuldashev is often characterized as the "political leader" or "spokesman" of IMU - the brains behind the brawn of operational commander Djuma Namangani, who was allegedly killed in November 2001 fighting for the Taleban in or near Konduz.
		Yuldashev first burst on the scene in the late 1980s, when Soviet power was waning throughout the red empire and a pasty-faced doughboy named Boris Yeltsin was encouraging people all over the USSR to bite off as much independence as they could swallow.
		Yuldashev and Namangani didn't launch a press conference to announce their humble goal of overthrowing Uzbek President Islam Karimov and forming a fundamentalist regime, and there's even some dispute about when exactly the movement was formed.

		Karimov is fighting against Islamist rebels trying to overthrow his secularist government, and who are believed responsible for terrorist bombings that occurred in late March 2004.
		He had sentenced Tohir Yuldashev and Juma Khodjiev (also known as Juma Namangani), the leader of the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan (IMU), to death in absentia.
		Namangani is said to have been killed in Afghanistan, but Yuldashev, who is said to have merged the IMU into the Islamic Movement of Central Asia by 2003, is still at large.

		Founded in 1998 by underground mullah Tohir Yuldashev and Afghan War vet Juma Namangani, the IMU declares as its goal the overthrow of the repressive regime of Uzbekistan's President Islam Karimov -- one with a long track record of persecuting practicing Uzbek Muslims -- and the establishment of an Islamic state.
		The group's success in drug trafficking is due to their knowledge of mountain routes; their ability to corrupt border officials; and, more importantly, their willingness to enter into armed engagements with border guards to distract attention from trafficking operations in nearby areas.
		After the U.S. bombardment of Taliban strongholds in northern Afghanistan, unconfirmed reports circulated that Namangani had been killed and that, under the leadership of Uzbek mullah Tohir Yuldashev, the IMU was now putting ideology and radical Islamic ideals first.

	ISN Security Watch - Uzbekistan and the evolving IMU
		Inspired by the legacy of the Basmachi insurgency that faced off against the Tsar's invading army in the early 19th century, the IMU was born in 1996 under the tutelage of Tohir Yuldashev.
		Ideologically and politically, the IMU philosophy emerged from Yuldashev's experiences with the United Tajik Opposition that was later imbued into a radically politicized mandate encased within an Islamic message.
		An additional factor is that, to many of the individuals who belong to the younger generation of post Soviet Central Asia, the legacy of al-Qaida continues to be replaced by younger, regional leaders who continue to look beyond their ethnic and regional borders for religious and financial inspiration in the name of Islam.

	Dangers of Playing the Central Asian Game - Tamara Makarenko, Cornell Caspian Consulting
		An IMU under the leadership of Tohir Yuldashev, on the other hand, would be characterised as a movement with significantly more interest in pursuing political aims.
		Thus despite Yuldashev's lack of charisma, his extreme Islamic idealism, commitment and ties to the international Islamic militant world make the IMU more of long-term threat than it ever was under Namanganiy.
		Although a resurgent IMU under Yuldashev may not have the military strength of the IMU that existed prior to 11 September, it does have the characteristics required to engage in terrorist acts.

		Yuldashev was behind the February 1999 simultaneous car-bombings in Tashkent, which killed 16 people and wounded 150 others; following the attacks Yuldashev subsequently broadcast an appeal to jihad from Iran.
		Yuldashev moved IMU's base of operations to Afghanistan and was so close to Osama bin Laden that he merged his fighters into al-Qaida, taking command of the Taliban-al-Qaida northern front during the November 2001 U.S. invasion.
		During his broadcast Yuldashev asserted that former Taliban leader Mullah Omar was still Afghanistan's Amir al-Mu'minin ("leader of the faithful").

		The unrest that led to the formation of the IMU began in December 1991, when some unemployed young Muslims seized the Communist Party headquarters in the eastern city of Namangan, incensed at the mayor's refusal to give them land on which to build a mosque.
		Yuldeshev, a 24-year-old college drop-out, was a well-known mullah in the Islamic underground movement, while Khojaev was a former Soviet paratrooper who had served in Afghanistan where he was said to have developed a high regard for the mujahidin against whom he fought and revitalized his Muslim faith.
		If IMU political and ideological leader Tohir Yoldashev survives the counterterrorism campaign and can regroup the organization, however, he might widen the IMU’s targets to include all those he perceives as fighting Islam.

		Repressed by the former communist government in the Nineties, the anger had burst out in raids led by leaders of the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan, the young ex-soldier, Juma Khojaev (who called himself Nomonghani), and the slightly older, bearded mullah from Nomonghan, Tohir Yuldashev.
		These guerrilla attacks, heralded on February 15, 1999, by five simul-taneous explosions in central Tashkent — the main one just missing President Islam Karimov’s motorcade on his way to work — attracted world attention at the time of the rise of the taliban.
		At first reading, the recent violence in Tashkent appears specifically to avenge the harm done to Yuldashev, who is supposed to be lying seriously wounded in his refuge among the Waziri clans beyond Wana in southern North West Frontier Province in Pakistan (Khojaev is thought to have died in the winter of 2001).

		Experts say the bloodshed could signal the resurgence of the regional Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan (IMU), which has revitalized itself in the lawless Pakistan-Afghan border area, under the leadership of Tohir Yuldashev.
		The attacks could be the work of IMU sleeper cells that are believed to have been in place since 2000, and whose members may have been able to correspond with Yuldashev's core IMU group in Pakistan's border areas, says Makarenko.
		The spike in violence is "good timing for the IMU to say, 'You are still vulnerable,' " says Makarenko, even as the US is getting "somewhat overconfident" by conducting numerous raids along the Afghanistan-Pakistan border and has officially enlisted Pakistani help that officials say nearly netted the IMU chief last week.
