Afghan TV station defies Taleban and President Karzai and keeps Bollywood s
2008-04-23 07:43:00 Kabul’s biggest private television station has defied a government order to take Indian soap operas off the air, insisting that it was issued at the behest of religious conservatives trying to “re-Talebanise” Afghanistan. More and more viewers are addicted to the Bombay-made dramas tales of family life with thin storylines, wooden acting and poor production values, but which have captured the Afghan imagination. The soaps have caused a huge debate. Prime-time viewing is a battleground between liberals and conservatives, with President Hamid Karzai backing the order to take the dramas off the air by yesterday’s deadline after months of dispute. At least one station complied, but last night viewers were able to watch Tulsi – its full title is “Because a Mother-in-Law Was Once a Daughter-in-Law too” which is said to be the most popular programme in Afghanistan, and Kasauti Zindagi Kay (Trials of Life).

Taliban, al-Qaida blamed in Bhutto death
2007-12-28 19:22:00 GARHI KHUDA BAKHSH, Pakistan - Hundreds of thousands of mourners thronged the mausoleum of Pakistan's most famous political dynasty in an outpouring of emotion for Benazir Bhutto. The government said al-Qaida and the Taliban were responsible for her death, claiming it intercepted an al-Qaida leader's message of congratulation for the assassination.But many of Bhutto's furious supporters blamed President Pervez Musharraf's government for the shooting and bombing attack on the former prime minister, Musharraf's most powerful opponent.

2007-08-15 06:14:00 Iran?s President has rejected accusations that elements of his Government have supplied weapons to Taleban insurgents to destabilise international efforts to rebuild Afghanistan.
