#1 Update
Local officials said the men had gathered to listen to music and watch the women dance when they were attacked. The Taliban disapprove of men and women mixing socially.

"I can confirm that this is the work of the Taliban," the Helmand provincial governor's spokesman, Daud Ahmadi, told AFP news agency.

He added that the men and women were "partying with music in an area under the control of the Taliban".

#3 The Taliban never did pass "The Birds and The Bees" in kindergarten. It was a major carrer setback for them. They probably still believe that storks deliver babies to the remote Provinces.
