Voice of America, a federally supported international broadcasting
organization, Friday decided not to air a story that included parts of
a rare interview with the leader of Afghanistan's ruling Taliban, Mullah
Mohammed Omar, officials said yesterday.
The move came after Deputy Secretary of State Richard L. Armitage
and senior National Security Council officials contacted members of the
VOA's board of governors to express concern that airing the interview would
amount to granting a platform to terrorists. The VOA board members in turn
contacted VOA staff.
