Mohsen Ahmadi, the director of a local Kunduz radio station, Zohra, said on Friday that a number of worshipers stormed the radio station after the Imam at a mosque gave worshipers the orders to do so.
According to Ahmadi, the attack occurred after the Imam claimed music, broadcast by the radio station, was mixing with the mosque’s sound system and being broadcast over his loudspeakers.
Ahmadi said the worshipers destroyed the radio’s broadcasting equipment.
He said the mosque’s Imam did not know where the interference was coming from but gave the worshipers orders to storm the radio station.
