The taliban.
A Radical Muslim group that rose to power in Afghanistan in the 1990s was the Taliban. This group says that they are Muslims, but in reality they are not. They are trying to establish a Muslim Caliphate by force, killing innocent civilians in the process. This goes against the principles of Islam, where killing is a major sin in the eyes of God (Allah).
The Taliban is a radical muslim group that rose to power in afganistan in 1990.
After years of civil strife, the Taliban, a violent Islamic organisation, took over control of Afghanistan in 1996. The Taliban, a group of predominantly Pashtun militants who fought against the many warlords vying for control of Afghanistan after the withdrawal of Soviet troops in 1989, emerged from Islamic schools (madrasas) in Pakistan. When the Taliban first gained notoriety as a political and military organisation in 1994, they had already seized control of the majority of the nation and the capital city of Kabul, creating the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan. The Taliban's administration was distinguished by the rigid application of their interpretation of Islamic law, which included the enslavement of women, the outlawing of music and television, and the severe punishment of dissidents. Only Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates recognised the Taliban as a legitimate administration.

The terrorist group Al-Qaeda has major links to the Taliban government who were in power in Afghanistan. However, Afghanistan is not the only country to be "invaded" as a result of the war on terror; Iraq was also liberated from Saddam Hussein. The main reason, is because the AlQaeda (a terrorist group) targeted our twin towers, and other high authority buildings, and so we retaliate. It wouldn't be centered around Afghanistan if the terrorist group weren't there.
When the Soviets left Afghanistan, no one "took over." The Communist government that they had intervened to support was still in power. This was attacked for the next three years by the Taliban until they took over.They left in 1989
