The projection topped off a day commemorating the destruction of the two famous Buddha statues
BAMIYAN (AFP) - Twenty years after being blasted out of Afghanistan s rugged central highlands, one of the country s famed Buddha statues made a brief virtual return Tuesday night as a three-dimensional projection filled the alcove that hosted the statue for centuries.
The projection topped off a day commemorating the destruction of the two famous Buddha statues by the Taliban in March 2001 in central Afghanistan s Bamiyan valley. We do not want people to forget what a horrific crime was committed here, said Zahra Hussaini, one of the organisers of the A night with Buddha event.
