The Afghan Taliban authorities strongly warned all foreign journalist not to enter Afghanistan illegally, Afghan Islamic Press (AIP) reported.
After releasing French journalist Michel Peyrard, who had been detained in Afghanistan for 26 days, Taliban chief of intelligence Mullah Tajmir Jawad said that those who enter Afghanistan without any permission could be indicted on the charge of spying, which carries the death penalty in Afghanistan.
"According to information gathered by our intelligence personnel, CIA and British intelligence agencies are sending their spies to our country in name of journalist," he said.
