The '''Taliban''' (Pashto: طالبان‎, ''ṭālibān'' "students") are a Islamic fundamentalist [[Jihad|jihadist]] terrorist organization based in Afghanistan. Founded in 1994 by former mujahideen commander [[Mohammed Omar]] in the aftermath of the Soviet-Afghan War, the Taliban have been waging an on-again, off-again insurgency in the country since then to become the primary governing power in Afghanistan.
