A Taliban leader has announced that music will be banned in Afghanistan and women will be required to travel with a male chaperone on trips that last several days.

He added that music will be banned in the country.
Mujahid said: "Music is forbidden in Islam, but we're hoping that we can persuade people not to do such things, instead of pressure them."
Still, he said, things will be different under this Taliban rule than the previous regime.
Rejecting reports that the Taliban is already extracting vengeance on those who opposed them, Mujahid said: "We want to build the future and forget what happened in the past."
