Taliban's latest diktat.Afghanistan's ruling radical religious regime- Taliban- has tightened restrictions for
women with a new edict against close-fitted burqas, the full-body veil women are required to wear. Women in the
Islamic militia's southern stronghold of Kandahar have been ordered to cover their bodies so their curves are not revealed, the Afghan
Islamic Press (AIP) said. Religious police squads had been asked to implement the order, it said.Pakistan
based AIP said the edict was prompted by reports that Afghan women were wearing figure-hugging veils like those sometimes used in
neighbouring Pakistan and other Islamic countries.
