Scenario - Cut to the last fight between two superpowers. America aids Taliban in their fight against regional supremacy in Afghanistan. Russia throws up its hands unable to withstand Glasnost and changes back home. Around 20000 armed Taliban 'fighters' are left without a cause.
End Result - On September 11th 2001, the Twin towers were literally destroyed confirmed to be an act by Taliban.
Scenario --Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (or LTTE) were funded and supported majorly by the Rajiv Gandhi government in the 80's. The ballooning of the LTTE from a lightweight organization was not possible without help from Indian authorities.
End Result - We don't need history lessons to learn who killed him and how he died.
The base of the Taliban is in Pakistan. It was supported in a major way by an erstwhile democratically elected 'ruler' Benazir Bhutto. She was the sole cause the Taliban found a base in Terrorist land.
She was the first major political target of the Taliban in the same country. They are now emboldened and aiming at Nawab Sharif too.
History is replete with such lessons about the hand that feeds get bitten. Will Pakistan ever learn and end it now?!?
