| Ban imposed on shaving in Lower Dir |
| 2007-03-08 |
| Suspected militants on Wednesday distributed pamphlets asking barbers not to shave people’s beards in Lower Dir, sources said. Following the distribution of pamphlets, which also mentioned Rs 3,000 fine for barbers who violate the ‘ban’, barbers in Munda Bazaar have refused to shave beards and have also put up notices at their shops to inform customers. Sources said that the suspected militants had also asked a prayer leader, Maulana Safiullah, to announce the ban on shaving through his mosque’s loudspeaker. |

| #4 I'm curious. Would it cost less than Rs 3,000 to buy a 9mm pistol and ammo? |

| #3 Attention! Attention! This is Maulana Safiullah. Until further notice, no shaves in the barber shops. Also...I'm not wearing any pants. That is all. |
