タリバン名乗る男３人、結婚式に乱入３人殺害　音楽問題視か

【カブールＡＦＰ＝時事】アフガニスタンで実権を掌握したイスラム主義組織タリバンは３０日、東部ナンガルハル州で同組織を名乗る武装した男３人が結婚式を襲撃し、演奏されていた音楽を止めさせ少なくとも３人を殺害したと明らかにした。（写真はタリバンの報道担当者ザビフラ・ムジャヒド氏）
　タリバンの報道担当者ザビフラ・ムジャヒド氏は、襲った男３人のうち２人を拘束したと述べ、襲撃は組織の命令ではないと説明した。
　ムジャヒド氏によると、事件が起きたのは２９日夜。タリバンを名乗る男３人が式に乱入し、音楽を止めさせた。少なくとも３人が撃たれ死亡、複数人が負傷した。
　タリバンは３人のうち２人を拘束、残り１人の行方を追っている。ムジャヒド氏は、タリバンの名をかたり「個人的な恨み」を晴らそうとした男らは、シャリア（イスラム法）により処罰を受けると語った。
　ナンガルハル州のタリバン報道担当者は事件については認めたが、詳細は明らかにしなかった。犠牲者の親族は音楽が演奏される中、「タリバン戦闘員」が発砲したと語っている。
　タリバンが前回アフガニスタンを統治した際、音楽は禁止された。今回は音楽に関しての見解を示していないが、タリバン幹部は娯楽のための音楽を依然として良しとせず、イスラム法に反するとみている。
　事件の目撃者は報道陣に対し、「若者が別室で音楽を演奏していると、『タリバン戦闘員』が押し入り発砲した。２人が重傷だ」と述べた。
　１９９６年から２００１年にかけてアフガニスタンを統治した旧タリバン政権によるイスラム法の解釈は非常に厳格で、公開処刑など厳しい罰則を科した。【翻訳編集ＡＦＰＢＢＮｅｗｓ】

Gunmen presenting themselves as Taliban attacked a wedding in eastern Afghanistan to stop music being played and killed at least three people, the government said Saturday.
Taliban government spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid said two of the three attackers had been arrested, and denied they were acting on behalf of the Islamist movement.
Last night, at the wedding of Haji Malang Jan in Shamspur Mar Ghundi village of Nangarhar, three people who introduced themselves as Taliban, entered the proceedings and that the music stop playing, he said.
As a result of firing, at least three people have been killed and several others have been injured.
Two suspects have been taken into custody by the Taliban in connection with the incident and one who escaped is still being pursued.
The perpetrators of the incident caught, who have used the name of the Islamic Emirate to carry out their personal feud, have been handed over to face Sharia law.
Qazi Mullah Adel, spokesman for the Taliban governor in Nangarhar province, confirmed the incident but did not provide details. A relative of the victims said the Taliban fighters had opened fire while music was being played.
Music was banned the last time the Taliban ruled Afghanistan and, while the new government has not yet issued such a decree, its leadership still frowns on its use in entertainment and sees it as a breach of Islamic law.
The young men were playing music in a separate room and three Taliban fighters came and opened fire on them. The injuries of the two wounded are serious, the witness told reporters.
In the ranks of the Islamic Emirate no one has the right to turn anyone away from music or anything, only to try to persuade them. That is the main way, Mujahid had told a news conference earlier.
If anyone kills someone by himself, even if they are our personnel, that is a crime and we will introduce them to the courts and they will face the law.
The previous Taliban government between 1996 and 2001 imposed a very strict interpretation of Islamic law and harsh public punishments.
But, since returning to power in mid-August after overthrowing the US-backed government, the Taliban -- seeking international recognition and an end to sanctions -- has tried to show a more moderate face.
