Remembering Afghanistan through Robert Fisk - Part 3 - The power of faith


Listen Later

In the previous part, we looked at some encounters that Fisk had with Soviet soldiers as well as Afghan rebels. It was discovered that, among those rebels, were outsiders from the Arabic speaking world. In this part, we look at certain interviews that Fisk did with their leader - Osama bin Laden - As well as how faith can be a powerful factor. We get a brief idea of Afghanistan in the post-Soviet period. Needless to say, it is not a happy one.
