Shut down your cellphone network or we will destroy it!

"Taliban rebels in Afghanistan have issued an ultimatum to the country's mobile 
network operators to shut down cellphone coverage at night—or else.
The reason for this is not because of a desire by the medieval 
revivalists/"moral" "guardians"/warmongering nutcases/nasty little 
freedom-killing, women-bashing, beard-obsessed terrorists —call 'em what you 
want—
to put a stop to potential cellphone naughtiness, but for military reasons.

The Taliban, which wants the networks to go dark between 5pm and 7am each 
night, is convinced that Allied troops are using the cellphone networks to 
track down its remaining fighters."
