Taliban threaten tailors

Published September 24, 2007

KOHAT, Sept 23: Local Taliban have warned tailors to strictly observe religious code while sewing clothes for men and women and keep their shops shut during taraveeh time.

In a letter sent to tailors, the Taliban claiming to be from the Jamaat-i-Islami asked them not to play music during night and threatened to blow up the shops of those not following the orders.

Police officials termed it a ploy to spread fear. They said police had made arrangements to foil the designs of the miscreants during Ramazan and Eid.
