Did Afghan Mujahideen Ever Conduct Raids Into Soviet Central Asia?

[Brian-Ghilliotti]

I guess this would be Soviet Central Asian version of Pancho Villa's raid...it probably would not have been hard to do, and may have yielded short term tactical benefits, such as disrupting forward staging areas, supply depots, and threatening forward intelligence proceessing centers. But such raids, if they did happen, would have been politically detrimental, as they could have been used by the Soviet authorities to drum up continued support for the war. However, given the politically loose nature of the mujahideen factions, nothing would have really stopped a hot head warlord from carrying out such a raid into Soviet Central Asia if they wanted to...

I wish you luck getting the answers you are looking for, but it does depend on a member with such expertise looking in, in the near future. You seem to need some fairly specialised knowledge there given that you want more than a Google search will uncover. Fingers crossed then.
