OT Fundamentals gone wrong.. "Giant Afghan Buddhas destroyed, Taleban says

The Taleban are keeping the world guessing over the fate of the statues

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (CNN) -- Afghanistan's ruling Taleban has destroyed the two giant Buddhas at Bamiyan, the Islamic militia reported Sunday.

During a meeting in Pakistan, Taleban Foreign Minister Wakil Ahmed Muttawakil told U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan that the statues had been demolished despite international pleas, an aid worker who attended the talks said Sunday.

Aid workers inside Afghanistan said they also have been told the statues were destroyed. If proven accurate, the reports will come as a major blow to the many international and cultural leaders who tried to persuade the Taleban to spare the Buddhas from their campaign to rid Afghanistan of all statues they deem offensive to Islam.
