FORMER AFGHAN MUJAHIDEEN COMMANDER ABDUL HAQ GESTURES DURING AN INTERVIEW IN PESHAWAR

Leading former Afghan Mujahideen commander Abdul Haq, one of the most prominent commanders fighting the Soviet Union in the 1980s, gestures during an interview in Peshawar October 4, 2001. Haq said on Thursday that a U.S. attack on his country would set back opposition plans to topple the Taliban leadership and even tighten the fundamentalist movement's faltering grip on power.
