Taliban bans TV in Afghan province

Taliban insurgents in Afghanistan have ordered residents of Logar, a province near Kabul, to stop watching television because it is un-Islamic. According to an Afghan ministry official, dozens of armed masked men entered mosques at the weekend and threatened residents. Previous Taliban demands that people should stop watching Indian soap operas on TV have been largely ignored. (Via Washington Post/Reuters)
