Taliban reorganized

The Taliban, however, by that time has reorganized its command and control system, not without help from Pakistan, and rearmed its soldiers. The Pakistanis have also convinced Rashid Doustum to support the talibs and bomb Herat using his air force. On September 3, 1995 the Taliban have recaptured Shindand, and on the fifth Ismail Khan has surrendered Herat and fled to Iran, just as he did in 1979.

counteroffensive

Massoud joined forces with Ismail Khan, using his aviation to bomb the talibs and to airlift 2,000 of his warriors to Herat. By the end of summer of 1995 Ismail Khan even began a counteroffensive against the talibs and captured back some of his territory.
