Facebook has shut down an account by the Pakistan Taliban that the militant group created to recruit people to write for a quarterly magazine and to edit videos.
According to a report by Los Angeles Times, the Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan page was recruiting contributors for a new quarterly magazine called Ahyah-e-Khilafat.
It had 281 'likes' as of Friday evening and included posts in English, mostly bland, PG-rated job postings for positions like video editor, translator and writer of "jihadi current affairs' and Islamic movements, the Washington Post reports. A post on the social networking site gave an email address and asked readers to ''plz spread' the message.
