Page "Kabul" Paragraph 39

::" The sovereignty of Afghanistan was vested formally in " The Islamic State of Afghanistan ", an entity created in April 1992, after the fall of the Soviet-backed Najibullah government.

... With the exception of Gulbuddin Hekmatyar's Hezb-e Islami, all of the parties ... were ostensibly unified under this government in April 1992.

... Hekmatyar's Hezb-e Islami, for its part, refused to recognize the government for most of the period discussed in this report and launched attacks against government forces and Kabul generally.

... Hekmatyar continued to refuse to join the government.

Hekmatyar's Hezb-e Islami forces increased their rocket and shell attacks on the city.

Shells and rockets fell everywhere.
