Al Quada/Taliban caves

I would say there is a good possibility the caves could be as developed as those built by the VC.

After all the Taliban have been around for many years fighting the Russians and now coalition forces.

Since the area has been used for centuries by smugglers and raiders along the trade routes there has been plenty of time to develop these caves.

"PESHAWAR, Pakistan — In Afghanistan, the landscape itself rises up against invaders, its soft limestone caverns, stunning granite mountains and subterranean streams offering Afghan fighters countless underground places from which to elude and harass foreign armies. From ancient irrigation systems to caves that go on for miles, the country's underground labyrinths have confounded would-be conquerors since the days of Genghis Khan. They helped Afghan guerrillas defeat British imperialists in the 19th century and drive out the Soviets in the 20th." quote USA Today

Oldest Oil Paintings Found in Caves
"A newly discovered mural is one of many in 12 of Afghanistan's famed Bamian caves that show evidence of an oil-based binder. The binder was used to dry paint and help it adhere to rocky surfaces.
The murals—and the remains of two giant, destroyed Buddhas—include the world's oldest known oil-based paint, predating European uses of the substance by at least a hundred years, scientists announced late last month."​
