This chapter describes the larger Arab community in Afghanistan and the Taliban regime’s policies towards this community. From 2000, the Taliban sought to regulate the activity of Arab training camps in Afghanistan. Al-Qaida went furthest in complying with the demands of the Taliban – moving the al-Faruq camp to the deserts outside Kandahar, establishing a central registration office for new recruits, and maintaining an internal security organization to arrest and interrogate suspected spies. These changes came as al-Qaida was about to expand its organization and bring in hundreds of new recruits from the Arabian Peninsula. Ultimately, the Taliban’s policies towards the Arab camps were of great benefit to al-Qaida. They allowed al-Qaida to gain a dominant position among the Arabs, and ensured that al-Qaida could continue and expand its training project in Kandahar. At the same time, the Taliban allowed other, independent Arabs such as Abu Mus’ab al-Suri and Abu Mus’ab al-Zarqawi to run their own training camps. This ensured that the foreign fighter community in Afghanistan kept multiple centers of gravity.
