Abstract
In March 2010, clashes erupted between
two of Afghanistan’s most important
insurgent groups in northern Baghlan
Province. A days-long battle between
Hizb-i-Islami1 and the Taliban left
nearly 60 militants and 20 civilians
dead. Hostilities between the two sides
flared again in Wardak Province in July,
where ongoing clashes killed 28 Taliban
fighters, including an important local
Taliban commander.
