FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 2001 Hamid Karzai, a Pashtun tribal leader in southern Afgahnistan, said he has started an armed uprising against the Taliban, most of whom are also Pashtun. Karzai has told various media he and Taliban forces have engaged in battles. Karzai went to Afghanistan to gather support for a traditional inter-tribal council that could form the basis of a new Afghan government. That's if the Taliban are ever removed from power. After repeated and increasingly severe bombings on Taliban targets, the U.S. has been unable to report a significant impact on leading Taliban officials. Armed opposition to the Taliban has mostly centered in northern Afghanistan. The Northern Alliance, a coalition of Uzbek and Tajik tribes, controls about 5 to 10 percent of land in the north and has been relying on the U.S. to help fight the Taliban. Get the Story:
