Ghazni, Oct 22 : The Taliban in Afghanistan have reportedly directed the five mobile phone operators to shut their networks during the day time, as, they, say the mobile signals help the Afghan security agencies in tracking their fighters.
“We have informed mobile companies operating in Ghazni to turn off their signals during the daytime now as it endangers the lives of our fighters. We want the companies to cut off their signal for 10 days from now. The order might be extended,” the Dawn quoted Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid as saying.
The Taliban insurgents said that they had told the mobile phone operators to shut down their networks during the day in the Ghazni province, southwest of Kabul.
