August 3rd, 2010

A Pakistani man reads code of conduct reportedly published and distributed by Taliban, in Chaman, a Pakistani border town situated along the Afghanistan border on Tuesday, Aug. 3, 2010. An updated Taliban code of conduct urges the insurgents' fighters to avoid killing civilians and seizing weapons and money from villagers in an attempt to win the hearts and minds of Afghans who are also being courted by <b>international</b> forces. The title of the booklet reads ' Islamic Republic of Afghanistan, code of conduct for Mujahideen.' (AP Photo/Shah Khalid)AP - The Taliban have issued a new code of conduct ordering fighters to protect civilians — as long as they don’t side with the Afghan government or NATO coalition. If they do, the punishment is death.
