A music party was held at the home of one of the Taliban police commanders until 3:30 in the morning in Talai city, located in the Kartenew area of Kabul. The sound of the harp and the tabla mixed with the sound of the harmonium and the singers sang songs at the request of the participants. This event was held on the occasion of the commander's son's birthday.
In a part of the house the musicians were sitting and a number of Taliban members were in a circle around them. Taliban bodyguards guarded the house outside the gate.
Habibala Arghandiwal (pseudonym), who attended the ceremony, told Afghanistan International that the ceremony was attended by Taliban police and intelligence personnel.
According to him, before the music started, two members of the Taliban took bullets out of their pockets and threw them into the tea. Although he wasn't sure, he said, "I thought it looked like a ka tablet."
