Al Jazeera has gained exclusive access to a secret network of Taliban bases hidden deep inside Afghanistan's Herat province.

The bases are run by Ghullam Yahya Akbari, the former mayor of Herat. He says he and his men are fighting to oust foreign troops from Afghan soil.

  • To the death!!!! Victory will come. If american soilders aren't being bled dry, every second they are in Afghnsistan bleeds their economy dry. Simply put it, there is no way to defeat the Taliban. Whether the Taliban are shooting or sitting on their asses has a significant effect.

  • During Taliban Government 1 thing was v good, That there was PEACE, no crimnals, no crimes, production of ophieom was 0% thats why, people want taliban back,

    But taliban ruled very strikley. that was their mistake,

  • Dont you guys get it? America WANTED to come to afghanistan, the afghan president is under the rule of the America. As long as America stays in Afghanistan, he gets power. The taliban are no good, they are TOO STRICT. The Mujahideens are the best, that was the best time for afghanistan.

    Right from the horse's mouth. These people are fighting us because we invaded and are occupying their country. Any other nation in the world would be doing the exact same thing, Islamic or not. This is the reason why the Taliban continues to be active and to recruit members. I don't blame them. I'd be doing the same thing that they're doing if America was invaded.

  • Alj-jihad=aljazeera

  • @horsemare302 Because they fear a quick and catastrophic retaliation!

  • the afghani people should pay the price for crying for the American support who ended up raping and killing the afghani innocent civilians. that is what u deserve when u turn ur back on ur beliefe and ur culture and tradition.

    the world is better of Nato world police people need life and peace no matter what they believe in but the West world police as they claim to be are not letting us rest for their own oil interest.

  • QUICK QUESTION

    WHY THE HELL THE u.ASs.a DONT ATTACK IRAN ????
