Prague / Kabul, September 14 (TASR) – Members of the Afghan radical Taliban movement found dozens of bottles of alcohol in one of them during a search of hastily abandoned buildings in Kabul. Czech brands were among them.

Islamists claim that it is the warehouse of former Afghan Foreign Minister Salahuddin Rabbani, but he rejects it and, according to him, it is the Czech embassy. He denied robbing the videos on Twitter and called the published information propaganda against him.

Monika exclusively about escaping from Afghanistan: the Taliban shot at people, beating them with clubs. My husband got it too

The Czechs confirmed that this was their embassy

The Czech Ministry of Foreign Affairs later confirmed on Tuesday that the published footage actually shows the premises of the temporarily closed Czech embassy in Kabul, writes the Novinky.cz portal.

However, the Taliban say in the videos that they are currently in the residence of former Foreign Minister Rabbani, who fled to Pakistan after taking power in the Taliban.

In addition to expensive rums and wines, the radicals in the pantry will also come across Czech herbal liqueur in a well-known green bottle, the famous Czech plum brandy by Rudolf Jelínek and “Pilsen”. Czech beer in cans will then appear in large numbers packed in a box with a seal, probably Czech.

Islam forbids drinking alcohol

Islam strictly forbids drinking alcohol, and in addition, the Taliban enforces strict Islamic Sharia law, so the discovered “wealth” is unlikely to be enjoyed by members of the movement themselves, writes the iDNES.cz portal.
