Music on buses "vulgar": Taliban
Bus drivers in northwest Pakistan have begun removing audio and video equipment from their vehicles after Taliban militants threatened suicide attacks against those who played music or movies for their passengers, said an industry official on Tuesday.

Transport workers in Mardan town received letters this week from militants saying buses offering such entertainment were guilty of spreading "vulgarity and obscenity," a union official said.
