No fighters that actually live and train in Afghanistan.

Currently, Nasrat Haqparast and the Basharat brothers (Javid and Farid) are Afghans.

In the past, Siyar Bahadurzada

Beheadings, rape, murder, kidnappings, terrorist attacks, etc. etc. all less violent than MMA and ok in are book. Sounds like the world can reason quite easily with the Taliban.
