The last reports I read on the TN-Arc. press reports, they did indeed pretty much wipe out those statues in their zeal during that time. I haven't heard anything recently, and these have crossed my mind more than once since all this began 9-11. Regards. Michaelson

: Does anyone know whether the Taliban managed to remove all traces of Buddhism from Afghanistan? I know they are of at most secondary concern, but I was saddened to see such artifacts blasted by grenade launchers on the news a while back. It would be a small consolation to know that they didn't finish the job because of other concerns...
