which is often referred to incorrectly in western media as the Northern Alliance. By 1996 the Taliban had captured the city of Kabul. During the same year restrictions on women were implemented. They were ordered to be fully veiled, no longer attend work, or go outside alone. Men were also ordered to grow beards. At this time tensions rose in Afghanistan as the government accused Pakistan of aiding the Taliban. In 1998, the Taliban captured Mazar-e-Sharif, and later massacred thousands of civilians. The United States launched cruise missiles into Afghanistan hoping to destroy the training camps run by Osama bin Laden, though they failed to be successful. In May 2000, the Taliban tortured and killed civil­ ians in the Robatak Pass (the border between Baglan and Samangan provinces), and in January of this year they tortured and killed even more in another part of the country. In March of this year, the Taliban destroyed ancient historical statues in the Kabul Museum, historical sites in Ghazni, and blew up the giant Bamiyan Buddhas from the 5th century. In September of this year, and up to the present, they have harboured Osama bin Laden, despite warnings of what would happen if they did not release him to the United States.
