In May 2009, the Taliban issued a new field manual titled “Rules for Mujahedeen,” which recommended among other things that they take steps to avoid killing noncombatants, limit the use of suicide bombing and not torture or kill prisoners without the expressed permission of higher authorities. Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid said 20,000 copies of the 60-page booklet were being distributed, and the new guidance received extensive coverage in the Middle Eastern and Western press.
