Northern AllianceThe Northern Alliance was formally founded in September of 1996. The group's main focus was anti-Taliban in nature and presented itself to stand up to the injustices caused by the Taliban and its leaders. The Northern Alliance found its height between 1996 to 2001, in that time theNorthern Alliance has had several prominent main leaders, one of the most influential of which being Ahmad Shah Massoud who was a powerful military leader and political adversary to the Taliban. Massoud was assassinated on September 9, 2001 just days before 9/11 in an effort by terrorists to take out this important political figure before he or his cabinet could take action against the terrorist events that would soon follow, or even speak out against them.
