Hazrat Ali rose to prominence during the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan. As a commander for Hezb-e Islami Khalis he quickly became an important leader for the Pashai community.

Hazrat Ali has also been described as an Afghanistani Army commander under the Soviet puppet regime.

During the war against the Taliban, Ali is said to have been aligned with Ahmad Shah Masood.

Following the fall of the Taliban Ali joined with two other leaders in the Jalalabad-Tora Bora region, Abdul Qadir and Mohammed Zaman to set up the Eastern Shura, a local provisional government. They were early backers of the first post-Taliban President Hamid Karzai.

The Pak Tribune described Ali as a “gangster” during the Fall 2004 Afghan Presidential election.

The Asia Times reports that, after the fall of the Taliban, Ali’s troops executed hundreds of captured Arab prisoners with the complicity of U.S. special forces.

The Asia Times also reports that Ali was one of the warlords who allowed Bin Laden to escape from Tora Bora.
