The correct answer is the Mujahadeen. These were muslims who opposed the Soviets in the war and practiced guerilla warfare against Soviet troops. Although it was historically a term for anyone participating in a Jihad, now it's mostly recognized in the Soviet-Afghan relations, and they were supported by the US who wanted to fight the Soviets.
