Taliban’s latest battleground may soon be YouTube

taliban%20fighters.jpg In its latest bid to go info-tech-savvy, the Taliban are learnt to be preparing for a media war to counter the Pakistan Army’s ‘offensives’ aimed at them, by putting videos on live websites such as YouTube. Topnews.in reports.

"The Taliban wants greater outreach by arming some of its members with requisite skills to upload videos on websites such as YouTube, said an unidentified member of the Taliban’s media cell.

“The Taliban have not been very advanced as far as the media war is concerned. But we are making efforts to catch up with the latest methods, and we will soon be available on YouTube,” the Daily Times quoted the non-Pashtun Taliban, with his face covered, as saying."
