Taliban blow up music shop
2009-04-08
Suspected Taliban planted a remote-controlled bomb that blew up a music shop and neighbouring stalls at Charsadda bus stand in Peshawar, police said on Tuesday. "A CD and music centre, as well as three other shops were destroyed when a locally-made bomb went off in front of a bus stand in Faqirabad area," local police official Anwar Khan said. No casualties were reported as the shops were closed overnight when the bomb had exploded, police said. "It was a huge explosion," Khan said. Another security official confirmed the attack. Taliban have bombed scores of entertainment shops across the country's northwest in recent years, charging that music and films are contrary to the teachings of Islam.
