Gunmen kill at least three at Afghan wedding to stop music being played
Killers said they were Taliban but government denies responsibility and says two of them have been arrested
"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."

So this new government supposedly has taken the latter approach as it strives to be legitimate in the eyes of the world.
