An Afghan worker of a mobile phone company tower is seen near the burned machine after it was attacked by Taliban militants in the city of Kandahar province, south of Kabul, Afghanistan on March 19, 2008. About 10 towers have been attacked since then — seven of them seriously — causing almost US$2 million in damages, the telecom ministry said. Afghanistan's four major mobile phone companies began cutting service across the south soon after. (AP Photo/Allauddin Khan)AP - Taliban attacks on telecom towers have prompted cell phone companies to shut down service across southern Afghanistan, angering a quarter million customers who have no other telephones.
