In July 1975, the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) initiated their first operation in Afghanistan, training over 5,000 Afghans to stage an uprising against the Daoud Khan regime. These uprisings occurred in many provinces of Afghanistan but were ultimately unsuccessful. Many commanders fled to Pakistan, while most of those captured were later executed, bringing an end to the uprisings.
