US news bulletin for Afghans

Published November 8, 2001

KANDAHAR, Nov 7: The United States has started transmitting vicious propaganda on radio for the people of Kandahar and suburban areas.

The radio is transmitting five hours bulletin. The bulletin begins from 4pm to 10pm night. Those who are working in the radio do not seem to be Pakhtoons. It is said that the Pushto pronunciation of these people is not accurate and they continued to commit mistakes while speaking Pushto. It is said that during the five hours bulletin songs, music and sermons are being made.—NNI
