Meanings of former mujahideen in English

In recent years, key former mujahideen leaders have complained of being sidelined from power.

FARYAB - A landmine killed a former mujahideen commander and four others in northwestern Faryab province on Saturday, the Interior Ministry said.

It has been trumpeted by every former mujahideen leader, from Osama bin Laden and Taliban commanders to the warlords in the current Afghan government.

According to two former mujahideen commanders who knew him, he was 19 years old when he reached Afghanistan in 1991.

Many former Mujahideen leaders were part of the Northern Alliance which ousted the Taliban with U.S. support.

The Islamists supported by the former Mujahideen who control the current government are, as observers expected, gaining ground.
