Taliban lift ban on sale of newspapers in N Waziristan
The local Taliban have lifted a ban on the sale of newspapers in North Waziristan that was imposed following an erroneous news report, which claimed that four tribal militants were killed in a clash with security forces. A journalist in Miranshah told Daily Times that news stalls reopened on Friday after the Taliban lifted the ban late on Thursday evening. The two-day ban was imposed on Tuesday after a private news agency carried an old report that was posted on a foreign news organisations website as fresh news. Posted by: Fred 2006-12-02 |
