I am confused. Which one is the religious group that Yamagami wanted to attack?

Some of the $500 million the CIA poured into Afghanistan reached Al-Zawahiri's group. Al-Zawahiri has become a close aide of bin Laden ... Bin Laden was only loosely connected with the [Hezb-i-Islami faction of the mujahideen led by Gulbuddin Hekmatyar], serving under another Hezb-i-Islami commander known as Engineer Machmud.
