Taliban
a movement of islamic thought comprised of young Ahfgan refugees being inculated in Pakistani refugee camps during and after the russian invasion. Pathans mostly a tribal group that straddles the NW Frontier of pakistan and southern afghanistan. Rose to power by confiscation of all weapons from warlords in Afghanistan. OBL sat in the same councils and schooled. OBL is a Taliban in nature and thought, he is not THE Taliban.
Composition of Taliban is home grown with a lot of Arabian visitors. The saudi's are not a majority, the majority is pathans.
my 2 cents
