Kunduz worshipers storm radio station on orders of Imam
Mohsen Ahmadi, the director of a local Kunduz radio station, Zohra, said on Friday that a number of worshipers stormed the radio station after the Imam at a mosque gave worshipers the orders to do so.
According to Ahmadi, the attack occurred after the Imam claimed music, broadcast by the radio station, was mixing with the mosque’s sound system and being broadcast over his loudspeakers.
Ahmadi said the worshipers destroyed the radio’s broadcasting equipment.
He said the mosque’s Imam did not know where the interference was coming from but gave the worshipers orders to storm the radio station.
Ahmadi has called on local authorities and organizations that protect the media to investigate the incident.
Sources meanwhile said the mob also tried to destroy two other radio stations in the city – Radio Kaihan and Radio Chiragh – but they were prevented from doing so by security forces.
Local officials have not yet commented.
