Among the most hostile and violent groups, Taliban is the most dangerous militant group in the world.

The Dasht-i-Leili massacre, that occurred in December 2001, is by far the most gruesome attack by the forces loyal to General Rashid Dostum, a former Army General of Soviet war in Afghanistan.

This was because those women were ethnic Pushtuns, supporters of Taliban.
