Voice of Jihad

Voice of Jihad (Arabic: صوت الجهاد, romanized: Ṣawt al-Jihād) was the title of a website, which claims to be one of the official websites of the Taliban.[1] It mainly provides latest news about Afghanistan in Arabic, Dari, English, Pashto, and Urdu.[2] After the Taliban restored the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan, it was renamed the Official Voice of Afghanistan.[3][2]

Voice of Jihad was also the title of an online journal published by the Saudi branch of al-Qaeda between 2004 and 2007.[4] An April 27, 2005, edition of Voice of Jihad included an article asking sympathizers not to appropriate the term "Voice of Jihad" for their own publications.[5] An issue was published in February 2007 after a hiatus of almost two years.[6]
