RIVAL NORTHERN WARLORDS MEET
The 20-21 April meeting was attended by both Deputy Defense Minister General Abdul Rashid Dostum and Army Corps No. 7 commander General Ata Mohammad. The fact that the two rival military commanders were meeting in Kabul is an illustration of national unity, according to a Balkh Television report prior to the meeting. Forces loyal to Jamiyat-e Islami under the command of Ata Mohammad most recently clashed with Dostum's Junbish-e Islami forces in Faryab Province on 8 April. The fighting stopped after a cease-fire was agreed on 11 April through the mediation of the United Nations (see "RFE/RL Newsline," 10, 11, and 15 April 2003). AT
