In a report that might have been the ideal April 1 spoof if it weren’t true, The Daily Telegraph has said in all seriousness that Omar issued an edict on turban-wearing, just a day after his personal spokesman Tayyib Agha expressed defiance in the face of seven weeks of American bombing.

Despite the looming prospect of complete annihilation of the movement he founded in 1993, Omar has expressed concern, the paper said, that "some Afghan men are wearing their turbans to the side or too far back". He declared the practice "vulgar and un-Islamic" in a rallying cry to the fast-decimating ranks of Taliban officials and soldiers.
