This seems to suggest that it was the Mujahideen who were forced to pull back, is it just a case of poor grammar? Sherurcij ( Speaker for the Dead) 06:40, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

A few years ago I read/skim a part of the book, The Lofty Mountain, which has a first-hand account of the battle (bin Laden's) and has a lot of details. If someone wants to expand this page, it might be a good source. or at least I mention this source here, as I probably should not list it as a reference because it's not used. — Preceding unsigned comment added by PointyPenBoy ( talk • contribs) 18:23, 26 February 2021 (UTC)
The Afghan mujahideen needs to stay in the infobox as their involvement is supported by the article body and corroborated by multiple reliable sources Fanatizka ( talk) 09:38, 19 June 2023 (UTC)
The jihadis displayed real courage, but they were also lucky. At one point there were only nine defenders left, but the Russians did not realize, and failed to take advantage of the situation before the reinforcements arrived. Besides, the Arabs, who numbered about eighty in the battle as a whole, were supported by a substantial Afghan force. This was reflected in the casualty figures; the Arabs lost thirteen or fourteen men while Sayyaf’s men lost around seventy. Still, it was a landmark achievement for the Arabs, who until then had not made much of a mark on the battlefield.
