''The camps, hidden in the steep mountains and mile-deep valleys of Paktia province, were the place where all seven ranking Afghan resistance leaders maintained underground headquarters and clandestine weapons stocks during their bitter and ultimately successful war against Soviet troops from Dec. 1979 to February 1989, according to American intelligence veterans...The Afghan resistance was backed by the intelligence services of the United States and Saudi Arabia...[and this camp represents] 'the last word in NATO engineering techniques.'"
