The Taliban has publicly burned a pile of musical instruments as it intensifies its crackdown on music, which it considers un-Islamic. The Taliban’s Bakhtar news agency reported Sunday’s burning event in the western province of Herat, citing the Islamist group’s local leader, Aziz al-Rahman al-Muhajir, the head of the local authority of the Ministry for the Propagation of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice in Herat.
