Afghanistan picks chairman for peace council

(CNN) -- Rabbani is the leader of the Jamiat-e Islami party -- one of the Mujahedeen factions in Afghanistan that fought Soviets in the 1980s. He became the country's president in 1992, after the collapse of Afghanistan's communist government.

For the next four years, rival Mujahedeen militias fought for control of Kabul, and eventually destroyed much of the Afghan capital before being ousted by the Taliban in 1996. -- Afghanistan picks chairman for peace council‎
