Taliban claim Afghan suicide attack as retaliation for US leaflet insult | World news | The Guardian
'The leaflets depicted a lion chasing a dog bearing a Qur’anic passage that appears on banners used by Taliban militants. '
'Dropping propaganda leaflets is a basic part of military psychology operations, and has been widely used by coalition forces in Afghanistan. '
'The Taliban have claimed responsibility for an explosion near Bagram airfield in Afghanistan, saying it was retaliation for the US distributing propaganda material that insulted Islam. '
'However, the passage used is also the basic Islamic statement of faith, and associating one of Islam’s most sacred texts with a dog, considered unclean in Islam, could cause offence. '
'In August, unidentified planes dropped leaflets on Ghazni province saluting all Taliban fighters on the occasion of Eid. '
