1. General Ghulam Faruq Yaqubi, the head of KHAD from 1986 to 1992, made a brilliant plan to infiltrate the Mujahideen fighters with leftists gradually over time. 2. When the Mujahideen took over Kabul, they shot General Yaqubi dead and falsely claimed he committed suicide. Secret documents showed that the Russians had penetrated the Mujahideen by 1985. 3. The assassination of Ahmad Shah Massoud in 2001 was likely an inside job and meant to eliminate his independence from the Americans. The US war in Afghanistan had no clear strategic goal and merely fooled the public.
