The Northern Alliance, officially the United Islamic National Front for the Salvation of Afghanistan, was an anti-Taliban military alliance of warlords and military commanders against the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan in support of the Islamic State of Afghanistan.[1] It was active between 1996 and 2001.[1] It was based in the city of Taloqan, Afghanistan.[2] In 2001, it was reported that a leader of the movement was killed by Taliban fighters.[3] The group was dissolved in 2001 following the September 11 attacks with the United States invading the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan in the War in Afghanistan.[4]
