FESTIVALS TALIBAN-STYLE

In March, evil, profit-motivated Arman FM staged a kite festival in Kabul to welcome in the year 1384. Much fun was had by all.

Taliban remnants have just held a festival or two of their own:

Taliban guerrillas have beheaded six Afghan policemen they kidnapped in southern Afghanistan, a provincial governor said on Sunday, a day after the guerrillas claimed to have beheaded a missing U.S. commando.

Suspected Taliban gunmen ambushed an Afghani government border patrol in the desert near the frontier with Pakistan, killing 10 soldiers and beheading their bodies, a provincial governor said Sunday.

For some this was not so much fun.
