ISLAMABAD, Pakistan -- AP
The Taliban have threatened to execute any U.N. worker who uses computers and communications equipment in Afghanistan, forcing a near halt to the remaining relief work in the country, U.N. officials said Monday.

The militia raided U.N. offices in Kabul, the capital, and Kandahar, where the Taliban leadership is based, during the weekend and sealed their satellite telephones, walkie-talkies, computers and vehicles to bar them from use, according to U.N. spokeswoman Stephanie Bunker.

"They warned our staff that if they use these things they will face execution," said Gordon Weiss, the spokesman for UNICEF in Islamabad.

What if we just go in with a bunch of old Pronto One-Step cameras and just steal their souls?

In truth, this was a good move on the part of the Taliban. Where security is concerned, we already know the media cannot be trusted.
