atone for not acting earlier to destroy all the country's statues, including two giant Buddhas.
Afghanistan's ruling Taliban on Monday carried out the ritual slaughter of 100 cows to atone for not acting earlier to destroy all the country's statues, including two giant Buddhas. In Kabul, 12 cows were slaughtered in the presidential palace while the rest were sacrificed in other Taliban-held areas around the country, officials said. While most of the world was outraged by the destruction of the Afghan heritage, the movement's reclusive leader Mullah Mohammad Omar ordered the sacrifices to atone for not smashing all statues, which he considers pagan idols, earlier.
