Taliban insurgents fighting Afghan and international troops based in Afghanistan have established their propaganda mouthpiece in the southern Ghazni province, locals said Sunday, Xinhua reported.
The FM transistor, according to locals, airs program from 07:00 p.m. until 09:00 p.m. local time and often broadcasts Taliban anti- government activities in local language of Pashtu.
"This radio called itself "Da Shariat Ghag Radio" or Radio voice of Sharia (Islamic Laws) have been airing programs on Taliban anti-government activities over the past three days," a resident of Qarabagh district Noor Mohammad told Xinhua.
A local official who declined to be identified also confirmed the report, saying Taliban militants have established their propaganda radio in the province.
Da Shariat Ghag Radio was the official mouthpiece of Taliban regime before its collapse in late 2001.
Meantime, Taliban purported spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid told media from an undisclosed location via telephone claimed that militants have established four radios in the country.
