Taleban back on the air

This just in from Afghanistan (via InterWorldRadio):

The Taleban movement has launched a pirate radio station in Afghanistan. This is the first time the movement has controlled a radio station since it was ousted from power by US-led forces in 2001. The Voice of Shariat is being broadcast in the south of the country, where the Taleban is fighting a low-level insurgency against coalition forces. They are using a mobile transmitter to avoid being shut down by American or Afghan forces.
