Local Taliban have warned women and school-going girls in a town near Kohat to wear burqas when going out and to avoid visiting markets without a male escort, a private television channel reported on Tuesday. According to Dawn News, the warning was issued on leaflets posted on the walls of all mosques in the Billaybang area 22 kilometres east of Kohat. The channel reported that the Taliban threatened that people will face consequences if they tried to remove the leaflets. They also asked female teachers to strictly observe the Islamic dress code or face punishment, the channel said.
