with a link to their website for more details about rebel fighters killing "at least 6 puppet police".

This is the latest sign that the Taliban are embracing modern technology in the propaganda battle that runs alongside the guerrilla war of ambushes, suicide bombings and mine explosions.

Taliban now have their websites in many languages. The Voice of Jihad is their website in five languages, Pashto, Urdu, English, Arabic and Dari (Farsi). They columnists and news writers. There are videos, photos and other links sectioons, what is required for a strong new media (online). Al-Jazeera is the most important news source of Taliban. They release every thing on their website and many most important interviews are always available on their website.

Between 1996 and 2001, Taliban almost outlawed all electronic products as un-Islamic. Photographs of living things were illegal, and ownership of a video player could lead to a public lashing.

Today, they send out text messages and emails, release videos of attacks on NATO troops, and run a website that evades repeated efforts to close it down.

So it is clear that Taliban try their best to fight US and NATO in every field that's why they don't accept defeat even US and NATO are in a huge number, in lacks and they are few thousand.
