Taliban

The Taliban, who overran most of Afghanistan in 1996, is a militia driven by an extremely harsh Medieval interpretation of Sunni Islam.

Backed by Pakistan and funded by Saudi Arabia, they promised to put an end to the factional warfare that had claimed thousands of lives in the years following the defeat of the country's Soviet puppet government in 1991.

The Taliban regime, which had been waging a guerilla war throughout Afghanistan since the Russians left, took over the capital, Kabul in 1996.

The flag (at least initially) was a plain white banner.

The Taliban imposed an extremely repressive, sectarian Islamic regime on the Afghan people including barring women from work and education.

NYC Blasts eBay On WTC Item
"eBay's policy does point out that out of respect for the families of murder victims, (the company does) remove listings of items closely associated with individuals notorious for committing murderous acts within the last 100 years."

Answer Offered In Puzzle Of WTC's Fall
"The difference in the towers' survival times, which translated into a difference in the amount of time employees, visitors and rescue workers had to get out, could be related in part to the planes' speeds, researchers said."

Glass Dome Considered As WTC Memorial
"A glass box or a dome may be placed over Fritz Koenig's Sphere - a massive bronze artwork recovered from Ground Zero."

Voice Recorders Could Provide Crucial Clues
"It's extremely rare that we don't get the recorders back. I can't recall another domestic case in which we did not recover the recorder."

Novel Idea For A WTC Memorial
"Fred Bernstein, an architectural writer living in New York, said that his Web site has received more than 60,000 hits in four days. He's personally received over 2,000 e-mails, and 99 percent have been favorable. Many have been ecstatic. The biggest surprise was that hundreds of people said that they were never able to visit the World Trade Center while it was standing and this memorial will give them a second chance to experience it.
