Question

What is the name of the ultra-orthodox islamic group that was in power in afghanistan until the united states military intervened in fall of 2001?

Answer 1

The correct answer is Taliban

They were an extremist fundamentalist religious group that ruled Afghanistan until 2001. As of 2001 they are no longer a government body that rules, but rather an insurgency group that opposes any other government. They still exist and adhere to their ideas of practicing Sharia law which was changed a bit to suit their needs.
