  Propaganda outlet for the Taliban/insurgency in Afghanistan.  Updated from Pakistan and Afghanistan, as well as further afield.
  
  The website is updated hourly with news updates (in English, Arabic, Dari and Pashtu).  It includes sections of articles, songs, videos, opinion-pieces and longer books (with 'lives of the jihadis'-type pieces).
  
  The style of articles ranges from simple news pieces giving information on alleged numbers of Taliban, ANA and foreign forces casualties, to more polemical pieces that comment on current issues.  Occasionally statements are issued through the website from the 'leading council' of the IEA (Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan).
