That fact helps explain Moscow's continued patronage for the Najibullah regime in Kabul, despite the Soviet withdrawal of its occupying forces from Afghanistan a year ago. Moscow's fear is that the country could become a springboard for Islamic revolutionaries eager to penetrate Soviet Central Asia. By U.S. Government estimates, Moscow's concern translates into a monthly dole of $200 million to $300 million, most of it in military assistance...
