ABDUL ZAEEF DESCRIBES GROWING UP IN POVERTY IN RURAL KANDAHAR PROVINCE, WHICH HE FLED FOR PAKISTAN AFTER THE RUSSIAN INVASION OF 1979. ZAEEF JOINED THE JIHAD IN 1983, WAS SERIOUSLY WOUNDED IN SEVERAL ENCOUNTERS AND MET MANY LEADING FIGURES OF THE RESISTANCE, INCLUDING THE CURRENT TALIBAN HEAD, MULLAH MOHAMMAD OMAR. DISGUSTED BY THE LAWLESSNESS THAT ENSUED AFTER THE SOVIET WITHDRAWAL, ZAEEF WAS ONE AMONG THE FORMER MUJAHIDIN WHO WERE CLOSELY INVOLVED IN THE EMERGENCE OF THE TALIBAN, IN 1994. HE THEN DETAILS HIS TALIBAN CAREER, INCLUDING NEGOTIATIONS WITH AHMED SHAH MASSOUD AND ROLE AS AMBASSADOR TO PAKISTAN DURING 9/11. IN EARLY 2002 ZAEEF WAS HANDED OVER TO AMERICAN FORCES IN ISLAMABAD AND SPENT FOUR AND A HALF YEARS IN PRISON IN BAGRAM AND GUANTANAMO BEFORE BEING RELEASED WITHOUT CHARGE. MY LIFE WITH THE TALIBAN OFFERS INSIGHTS INTO THE PASHTUN VILLAGE COMMUNITIES THAT ARE THE TALIBAN S BEDROCK AND HELPS TO EXPLAIN WHAT DRIVES MEN LIKE ZAEEF TO TAKE UP ARMS AGAINST THE FOREIGNERS WHO ARE FOOLISH ENOUGH TO INVADE HIS HOMELAND. मुल्ला झैफ यांचा जन्म १९६८ मध्ये झांगियाबाद येथे झाला. दुष्काळ व राजकीय अस्थिरता यामुळे तो कुटुंबासह मुशान, रंग्रेझान, चारशाखा अशा ठिकाणी भटकत होता. याच दरम्यान त्याची लहान बहीण आणि वडील यांचा मृत्यू झाला. झैफच्या जन्मानंतर सातच महिन्यांनी त्याची आई देवाघरी गेली होती. राज्यक्रांती झाली आणि साम्यवादी राजवट उदयास आली. केवळ पंधराव्या वर्षीच त्याने शस्त्र हाती घेतले. सोव्हिएत फौजांविरुद्ध तो लढाईत उतरला. १९८५च्या दरम्यान त्याने पाकिस्तानात आयएसआयकडून शस्त्रास्त्रांचे प्रशिक्षण घेतले. सोव्हिएत फौजांनी माघार घेतल्यावर तो घराकडे परतला; परंतु अफगाणिस्तानातील यादवी युद्धामुळे तो पाकिस्तानला गेला. कंदाहार येथील एका मशिदीत तो 'इमाम' म्हणून राहू लागला. १९९४ मध्ये तो तालिबान चळवळीत सहभागी झाला. झैफ मुळात धार्मिक प्रवृत्तीचा होता. तालिबानने हेरात, काबूल काबीज केल्यावर तेथील बँकांचे प्रमुखपद झैफला देण्यात आले. ओसामा-बिन लादेन या
