First Internet Mention of Taliban (1995)

by mike · 2002-01-08

Amazing Google post from 1995 with first press dispatch talking about the Taliban:
A GROUP OF AFGHAN RELIGIOUS STUDENTS, KNOWN AS TALIBAN,
HAVE EMERGED AS A NEW FORCE DURING FIGHTING IN AFGHANISTAN. THE
STUDENTS HAVE TAKEN CONTROL OF SEVERAL SOUTHERN PROVINCES IN THE
PAST SIX MONTHS, AND ARE ADVANCING TOWARD THE CAPITAL, KABUL.
FOLLOWING A TRIP TO JALALABAD, JENNIFER GRIFFIN REPORTS FOR V-O-A
LEADERS IN NEIGHBORING PROVINCES ARE PREPARING FOR THE STUDENTS’
ADVANCE.

THE TALIBAN ARE AFGHAN STUDENTS TRAINED IN RELIGIOUS
SCHOOLS AND REFUGEE CAMPS IN PAKISTAN. THEY ARE THE NEWEST ARMED
GROUP IN THE AFGHAN CIVIL WAR. THE STUDENTS SAY THEY HAVE
ADVANCED TO WITHIN 30-KILOMETERS OF KABUL, WHERE OPPOSING
FACTIONS CONTINUE TO TRADE ARTILLERY FIRE AND ROCKETS DAILY.
