The disparate ethnic and religious leaders who had united to eject the invaders - the famous mujaheddin - were at each others" throats. For the rural poor of Kandahar province, life was almost impossible. On 12 October 1994 a small group of religious students decided to take matters into their own hands. Led by an illiterate village mullah with one eye, some 200 of them surrounded and took Spin Boldak, a trucking stop on the border with Pakistan. From this short and unremarkable border skirmish, a legend was born. The students" numbers swelled as news of their triumph spread. The Taliban, as they now called themselves - taliban is the plural of talib, literally "one who seeks knowledge" - had a simple mission statement: the disarmament of the population, and the establishment of a theocracy based on Sharia law.
