Rasool Sayyaf
Abdul Rabb Rasoul Sayyaf (b. 1946, Paghman Valley, Afghanistan, full name: Ustad {Professor} Abdul Rabb al-Rasuul Sayyaf, also Abdur Rab Rasul Sayyaf) is a factional fundamentalist leader in the Afghan Northern Alliance government that took over Afghanistan in December, 2001, and a hard-line Wahhabi Islamic Fundamentalist supported closely by Saudi Arabia in its attempts at proselytisation of their version of Islam, although this alienated most other Sunni Muslim Afghans, who follow the far more moderate Hanafi sect, as well as the Afghan Shi'ites, such as the Hazaras.
