Taliban kill wedding guests after music at party | Abroad

A Taliban spokesman in the province confirmed the incident, but blamed “unknown gunmen.”

According to a local source from DPA news agency, the local Taliban had allowed music to be played at the wedding.

The new rulers in Afghanistan during their previous reign from 1996 to 2001 introduced a total ban on music, because it would be sinful and against the teachings of Islam. After the Taliban took power in August, many musicians have fled or stopped abroad, hiding their instruments.
