Brigadier Amir Sultan Tarar, better known as Colonel Imam, is a veteran Pakistan Army and Inter-Services Intelligence officer and former Pakistani Consul General at Herat.[1] He is widely believed to have played a key role in the formation of the Taliban, after having helped train the Afghan Mujahidin on behalf of the United States in the 1980s.[2]

Colonel Imam, who is a commando-Guerrilla warfare specialist, has trained Mullah Omar and other Taliban factions. Colonel Imam remained active in Afghanistan's civil war until 2001 U. S. led War on Terrorism, and still supports the Taliban.

He is a graduate of Pakistan Military Academy , Kakul ; and Fort Bragg, North Carolina, USA. He still independently supports the Taliban independance movement in Afghanistan

After the Soviet defeat and the collapse of communism, Colonel Imam was invited to the White House by the then President George Bush Sr, and was given a piece of the Berlin Wall with a brass plaque inscribed: "To the one who dealt the first blow." Today, western intelligence agencies believe Imam is among a group of renegade officers from Pakistan's ISI who continued to help the Taliban after Pakistan turned against them following the attacks of September 11, 2001
