S. Policy Toward the Taliban During Its Rule/Bin Laden Presence

The Clinton administration began negotiations with the Taliban after they captured Qandahar in 1994 and continued to engage the movement after it took power. However, the administration was unable to moderate the Taliban's policies, and the United States withheld recognition of the Taliban as the legitimate government of Afghanistan, formally recognizing no faction as the government. The Taliban's hosting of Al Qaeda's leadership gradually became the Clinton administration's overriding agenda item with the Taliban.

The Taliban's policies led various Afghan factions to join the Tajik core of the anti-Taliban opposition – the ousted Rabbani president, Ahmad Shah Masoud, and their ally in the Herat area, Ismail Khan.

Although the Northern Alliance was provided with Iranian, Russian and Indian financial and military support, the Taliban continued to gain ground even in areas not inhabited by Pashtuns. At the time of the 9/11 attacks, the Taliban controlled at least 75% of the country, including almost all provincial capitals.
