Three guests were shot dead at a wedding reception in eastern Afghanistan on Friday night, apparently because music was being played, according to the Taliban.
The attack was carried out by three assailants who claimed to be members of the Taliban before opening fire, Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid told reporters at a press conference Sunday.
Mujahid said the gunmen attacked a reception taking place in the Surkh Rod district of Nangarhar Province. A local journalist also told CNN at least two people had been killed and 10 others injured.
The Taliban spokesman added that it was not permissible to kill anyone for playing music, and an investigation was underway to establish whether the incident was due to a personal feud.
"In the ranks of the Islamic Emirate no one has the right to turn anyone away from music or anything, only to try to persuade them. That is the main way," Mujahid told the press conference, according to AFP.
Mujahid later reiterated in a series of Twitter posts that the suspects had claimed to be Taliban members, and had asked for the music to be stopped before firing before opening fire -- but did not verify whether or not they were. He said two people connected to the incident had been arrested, but a third had escaped.
Although they disapprove of playing music at weddings and other public events, the Taliban has not issued a decree banning it since coming to power in August.

LOLOL!
Hey, if you’re gonna put “Seasons In The Sun” and “Indiana Wants Me” on your play list you gotta expect some consequences.
This can, will and has happened in the United States when the democrat taliban party is in charge. Ever hear of Ruby Ridge?
[Verse 1] Now the king told the boogie men You have to let that raga drop The oil down the desert way Has been shaken to the top The Sheikh he drove his Cadillac He went a' cruisin' down the ville The Muezzin was a'standing On the radiator grille
[Chorus] Shareef don't like it Rockin' the Casbah, rock the Casbah Shareef don't like it Rockin' the Casbah, rock the Casbah
[Verse 2] By order of the prophet We ban that boogie sound Degenerate the faithful With that crazy Casbah sound But the Bedouin they brought out The electric kettle drum The local guitar picker Got his guitar pickin' thumb As soon as the Shareef Cleared the square They began to wail [Chorus] Shareef don't like it Rockin' the Casbah, rock the Casbah Shareef don't like it Rockin' the Casbah, rock the Casbah
[Verse 3] Now over at the temple Oh! They really pack 'em in The in crowd say it's cool To dig this chanting thing But as the wind changed direction And the temple band took five The crowd caught a whiff Of that crazy Casbah jive
[Chorus] Shareef don't like it Rockin' the Casbah, rock the Casbah Shareef don't like it Rockin' the Casbah, rock the Casbah
[Verse 4] The king called up his jet fighters He said "You better earn your pay Drop your bombs between the minarets Down the Casbah way" As soon as the Shareef was Chauffeured outta there The jet pilots tuned to The cockpit radio blare As soon as the Shareef was Out of their hair The jet pilots wailed
Just remember, one of the first things the Taliban did was outlaw, then confiscate, all privately owned guns.
I wonder if those they shot were vaccinated?
