Whatever happened to Massoud's lieutenant? I think his name was Abdullah Adbullah or Dr. Abdullah.

Wasn't he involved in the formation of the new interim government? Minister of something or other? I recall seeing his name bandied about in various accounts of the period, but don't recall whatever happened to him.

Abdullah Abdullah is a fantastic leader. A real professional at leadership and strategy, he has moved back permanently to Afghanistan except for regular visits back to New Delhi (where his family has been based for several years.)

The unknown fact is that the major backer of the Northern Alliance this whole time has been India - just as the Pakis were the creators and sustainers of the Taliban.
