Q. Which place was allegedly known as the headquarter of Taliban?
Answer: Kandahar
Notes: The 1992 serial bomb blasts in Bombay were one of the major incidents of terrorism in India in recent years. The bomb blast in Lajpat Nagar in Delhi in 1996 had also resulted in a large number of civilian causalities. There have been many more incidents of bomb blasts in different parts of the country. An Indian Airlines aircraft was hijacked to Kandahar, the headquarters of the Taliban. 178 innocent passengers were held hostage there for a week. Indian government had to make a very difficult decision. It was forced to release three terrorists from Indian prisons to secure the safety of the hostages.
