Burhanuddin Rabbani
Mulla Baqi was an officer and comrade to Jalaluddin Haqqani. He also served as Khawst governor during the 1990s government where Burhanuddin Rabbani was president, though Burhanuddin had no control outside Kabul at the time. During 1995 Baqi threatened to attack the Hizb-e-Islami commander Fayiz Mohammad, who had tried to arrest local Arab fighters and seize their armaments to use for the battle at Kabul being waged by Gulbuddin Hekmatyar versus Ahmad Shah Massoud and Burhanuddin Rabbani. Baqi threatened Fayiz Mohammad by God that the Haqqani garrison would bombard the Matoun citadel stone by stone unless he let the Arabs go.
