Rostam
Rostam or Rustam (Persian: رُستَم, pronounced [ɾos'tæm, ɾʊs'tæm]) is the epic hero of the Persian epic Shahnameh in Persian mythology, and son of Zal and Rudaba. In the story, Rostam and his predecessors were natives of the Zabulistan region of Sistan (present-day Iran and Afghanistan). Rostam's mother Rudaba was a princess of Kabul.
In some ways, the position of Rostam in the historical tradition is parallel to that of Surena, the hero of the Battle of Carrhae. Rostam was always represented as the mightiest of Iranian paladins (holy warriors), and the atmosphere of the episodes in which he features is strongly reminiscent of the Parthian period. He was immortalized by the 10th-century Persian poet Ferdowsi in the Shahnameh, or Epic of Kings, which contains pre-Islamic Iranian folklore and history.
Background
In Ferdowsi's Shahnameh, Rostam is a native of the Zabulistan a historical region roughly corresponding to today's Zabul Province in southern Afghanistan. His mother Rudaba was a princess of Kabul. Rostam is the champion of champions and is involved in numerous stories, constituting some of the most popular (and arguably some of most masterfully created) parts of the Shahnameh. In Shahnameh, Rostam - like his grandfather Sam - works as both a faithful military general as well as king-maker for the Kayanian dynasty of Persia.
Rustam (Haqqani network)
Mullah Rustam is a citizen of Afghanistan, and an alleged Taliban leader. According to Der Spiegel Rustam was among at least 13 Afghans added to the Joint Prioritized Effects List, at the request of the Bundeswehr. They reported he and Qari Jabar were added in 2007 and removed in 2009. They reported Rustam was the 74th name on the list.
Der Spiegel reports Rustam was reported to have been leading fighters in the Haqqani network in the region of Afghanistan the International Security Assistance Force assigned to Germany as early as 2005.

In 2005, there were already signs that Rustam's fighters were planning to strike. Informants reported that, under Rustam's leadership, attacks were to be directed against the German reconstruction team in Kunduz 'with modified motorcycles and bicycles.'mirror
