| | |  Mujahideen: Encyclopedia - Afghanistan
Afghanistan (Pashtu/Dari-Persian: افغانستان, Afğānistān) is a country at the crossroads of Asia.

It is bordered by Iran in the west, Pakistan in the south and east, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan in the north, and China to the east.

| | | | Mujahideen: Encyclopedia II - 1998 U.S. embassy bombings - Background Since 1992, al Qaeda perpetrated or was linked to violence in Yemen, Mogadishu, and Ethiopia. Between 1993 and 1994, members of al Qaeda began to re-locate to Eastern Africa. Most were Mujahideen, who had fought against the Soviet Union after its invasion of Afghanistan in 1979. Al-Qaeda began surveillance of the two embassies in early 1993. By the mid-1990s al Qaeda had established an East African cell and, using the information they had obtained, began to organize and establish the logistics necessary to conduct both attacks. During this t ...

It has been speculated that early pre-Aryan populations in the NWFP were an Elamo-Dravidian group, but this remains unproven.

| | | | Mujahideen: Encyclopedia II - AK-47 - Development The AK-47 was not the first assault rifle; it was preceded by earlier Italian, Russian, and German designs. Mikhail Kalashnikov adamantly denies that it is based on the German MP 44 assault rifle. Although they have different locking mechanisms, the construction technique, layout, and concept are identical. Internally, however, the AK-47 owes much to the M1 Garand Rifle. The double locking lugs, unlocking raceway, and trigger mechanism are clearly derived from the earlier American design. Where the Kalashnikov rifle differs is in its simplification of those contributing designs and adaptation to mass prod ...

| | | | Mujahideen: Encyclopedia II - Alija Izetbegović - Izetbegović as president The introduction of a multi-party system in Yugoslavia at the end of the 1980s prompted Izetbegović and other Bosniak activists to establish a political party, the Party of Democratic Action (Stranka Demokratske Akcije, or SDA) in 1989. It had a largely Muslim character; similarly, the other principal ethnic groups in Bosnia, the Serbs and Croats, also established ethnically based parties. (The Communist Party renamed itself the Party of Democratic Changes.) The SDA won the largest share of the vote, 33% of the seats, with the next r ...

| | | | Mujahideen: Encyclopedia II - Soviet war in Afghanistan - The Soviet deployment In December 1978, Moscow signed a bilateral treaty of friendship and cooperation with Afghanistan which permitted Soviet deployment in case of an Afghan request. Soviet military assistance increased and Amin’s regime became increasingly dependent on Soviet military equipment and advisers. However, by October 1979 relations between Afghanistan and the Soviet Union were tense as Amin dismissed Soviet advice on stabilizing his government.
Islamic guerrillas in the mountainous countryside harassed the Afghan army to the point where the ...

In 2004, the U.S. government commission investigating the attacks officially conclude ...

| | | | Mujahideen: Encyclopedia II - Rocket propelled grenade - Tactics RPGs are a low-cost, low-tech, direct fire man-portable weapon, used primarily to engage thinly-armored and unarmored vehicles and personnel. It also can be used as an anti-aircraft weapon, usually against helicopters.
Because of the inherent inaccuracy of the RPG, the operator must fire relatively close to the intended target, increasing the chances of being spotted and suppressed. Most modern armies use the ATGM as their primary infantry anti-tank weapon, but the RPG can still be used effectively under certain tactical conditions, e ...
