Hezb-i-Islami Fights Taliban, Joins Afghan Government?

"Hezb-i-Islami's leader, Gulbuddin Hekmatyar, a ruthless mujahedin commander who fought the Soviets and later shelled Kabul in the early 1990s, killing thousands, is known to be Pakistan's man. Two weeks ago, Pakistani police arrested the Taliban's shadow governor in Baghlan who had slipped across the border. Taliban fighters may have suspected that Hekmatyar had something to do with their regional chief's capture." TIME.
