or perhaps, the Nuristan Wilderness of Mirrors.

Starting with the Afghanistan Analysts Network (AAN) Taliban Report, which David linked here and I quoted here (and now re-quote in part):

p.10

Organisationally, the insurgency is segmented and consists of seven armed structures: the Islamic Movement of the Taleban, the networks of the Haqqani and Mansur families in the South-East, the Tora Bora Jehad Front (De Tora Bora Jehadi Mahaz) led by Anwar-ul-Haq Mujahed in Nangrahar (Eastern region), HIG, small Salafi groups in Kunar and Nuristan provinces (Eastern region) [28] and, as a new phenomenon, a number of not inter-related local exmujahedin groups that (or whose historical leaders) had been pushed out of power, are taking up arms and starting to adopt Taleban-like language and behaviour.

[28] Official name (Society for the Invitation to Quran and Sunna). This group already established an Islamic mini-state in Nuristan in the 1980s. Its current leader Haji Rohullah joined the post-2001 process but was later arrested and detained in Guantanamo. It is registered as a political party in Kabul.
Now, Mr. Haji Rohullah has some 90 pages of documents scanned into his NY Times dossier; and the obligatory Wiki for former Gitmo detainees. So, a Karzai government figure in the morning, a Nuristani freedom fighter in the afternoon and an AQ-supported guerrilla fighter in the evening.

The World goes round; payback is a mother; and with friends like that, who needs enemies.

Best to all
