 28 March 1995 [3 Pages, 0.7MB] – The Taliban’s advance in the east has halted for now, and Interim President Rabbani retains control of Kabul. However, few prospects exist for long-term stability in Afghanistan. The UN, although marginalized, still may play a role if it is willing to lower its expectations.

 28 September 1995 [6 Pages, 1.2MB] – Afghanistan: Tallban Eyeing Herat – The 5 September capture of the strategic western city of Herat by the ultra-fundamentalist Taliban militia was a serious, hut probably not fatal. blow to interim president Rabbani. Opposition leaders are having difficulty forging a meaningful alliance with the Taliban, and these forces probably still lack the organization or strength to seize Kabul.

 10  July 2002 [3 Pages, 1.5MB] – Using false end-user certificates, front companies, and corrupt military officials, the United Self-Defense Forces of Colombia (AUC) paramilitary organization has arranged several gray market arms shipments since 1996. Gray arms deals are becoming routine for the group and have replaced the regional black market as its main source of arms.
