But Noriega's departure continues to be Washington's main goal, and National Security Adviser Brent Scowcroft disclosed last week that the U.S. has resumed efforts to find a country willing to offer Noriega refuge.

Beyond that, overseeing an estimated 50,000 rebel fighters demands constant meetings with his commanders. Not only must the mujahedin adapt their military tactics if they are to oust the government, but they must also position themselves to determine which among the main insurgent groups will predominate once the government in Kabul falls. Though it is impossible to predict which group will be the most influential, Massoud obviously intends Jamiat-i-Islami to play a key role...
