About this video

Shocking images of deformed babies born in Afghanistan since the US-led invasion have been displayed on the Taliban's website to support accusations that the American army has illegaly used depleted uranium weapons in the country - which US authorities have denied.<br /><br />That is just one way the Taliban has used the internet for propaganda in its information war against the Afghan government and foreign troops. <br /><br />But now Afghan authorities say they plan to censor the Taliban website, which they claim "promotes terrorism and glorifies violence".<br /><br />David Chater reports from Kabul.
