The Taliban, a Sunni Islamist group, ruled Afghanistan between 1996 and 2001 until they were ousted by the American-led invasion after the Sept. 11 attacks. Based in the Pashtun region in the country's southeast, the group grew out of a student movement dedicated to purifying Afghanistan.

The Taliban now control between 65 and 85 percent of Afghanistan, a country where statistics are anyone's guess. (Even the population size of Afghanistan is uncertain: possibly 15, maybe 22 million. The U.S. Department of State's figure on war fatalities 1.5 million has not changed since 1985, although the armed conflict there is now in its 19th year.) For the last two years, the Taliban have been trying to win both a seat at the United Nations and international recognition. Thus far, only three countries have recognized the regime: Pakistan, the United Arab Emirates, and Saudi Arabia. And even Pakistan is becoming embarrassed by its neighbor.
