The Bala Hissar Uprising was an uprising that happened in Afghanistan in 1979, as Maoists fought against the Marxist-Leninist government.
Information in English is limited, but an alliance of anti-government Maoists and moderate Islamists seized control of a military fortress in hopes of starting a military coup, but it was then bombed by the government and seized in five hours. With the government claiming it was an imperialist plot.
