There has been considerable concern over the fate of the hundreds of Stinger missile systems the C.I.A. provided to Afghanistan's anti-Soviet mujahadeen forces in the 1980's.

Jonas Žemaitis, Lithuanian general, head of the Lithuanian anti-Soviet partisan forces after WWII, shot to death in 1953 [1].

Secretary Dulles then turned to create an alternative anti-Soviet force: the Baghdad Pact, a northern-tier alliance of Turkey, Iran, Iraq and Pakistan.

However they were captured by anti-Soviet forces.

During the 1980's, Ali Mohamed was involved in the training of the anti-soviet forces which included members of the mujahideen, the local force of Afghanistan established to fight the Soviet Union.

It was filmed and produced by church member Lee Shapiro, who later died while filming with anti-Soviet forces during the Soviet war in Afghanistan.

Contrary to everyone's expectations, there was no real attempt by the leadership to crack down on anti-Soviet forces; for the first time in this bloody century the Soviet leaders chose to retreat before their own people without a fight.

"It's one of those undesirable spinoffs," Stansfield Turner, the former director of Central Intelligence, which had helped supply and train the anti-Soviet forces, told a reporter.

Indeed, he still seems blinkered by such cold war ideas as the notion that we should help an authoritarian China because it is an anti-Soviet force.
