Hezb-e-Wahdat-e-Islami-yi Afghanistan is one of the main groups included in the Northern Alliance, and had joined the coalition by 1992. When Afghanistan's communist government fell in 1992, Hezb-e Wahdat was formed to unite the country's eight Shi'a parties. It is the main Shi'a party in Afghanistan and draws its support from the ethnic Hazara minority. The group received considerable military support from Iran in the 1990s. Mazari was killed in 1995 as the Taliban were fighting to seize Kabul.VideoVideo:Abdul Ali Mazari (Farsi: عبدلعلی مزاری, ʿAbd al-ʿAlī Mazārī) was a political leader of the Hezbe Wahdat during and following the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan.Mazari was an ethnic Hazara and believed the solution to the divisiveness in Afghanistan was in federalism, where every ethnic group would have specific constitutional rights.

Groups and individuals included in TRAC's database range from actual perpetrators of social or political violence to more passive groups that support or condone (perhaps unwittingly) such violence. The spectrum of violence represented by these groups is vast, from Jihadists who bomb train stations to financial institutions that transfer funds. Some groups that originally engaged in violence but have since become legitimate political parties are included to provide historical perspective. TRAC is in no way attempting to determine whether groups or individuals are terrorists -- only to convey reported information about their activities and official State status. While TRAC attempts to ensure the accuracy of its TRAC database, the entries in the database are from numerous different sources. Hence, TRAC cannot and does not warrant the accuracy of the entries in its database. The editors of TRAC may modify these entries at any time and welcome comments and suggested corrections or additions. Please write [email protected] or hit the "SUBMIT ADDITIONS" button on the page of the group profile about which you wish to comment.
