Peshawar Seven", who fought against the Soviets in the Soviet–Afghan War and fought in the Gulf War along with the American-led coalition against Iraq.[1] Among its most notable members were Hibatullah Akhundzada, Abdul Haq, Amin Wardak, Jalaluddin Haqqani, and founder of the Taliban, Mullah Omar.[2][3]
