PESHAWAR: Militants have warned music and video shops, as well as clandestine hashish and alcohol outlets, in Dara Adamkhel to close their business, local people said on Saturday.
“The Taliban have set July 1 as a deadline to abandon all ‘un-Islamic’ business in the area,” local resident Murtaza Khan said.
The threat came in pamphlets distributed in the town.
The pamphlets also warned shopkeepers to stop downloading songs as mobile telephone ring tones.
“All the music shops in this area are closing now,” shopkeeper Jan Alam told AFP.
