"The Taliban use a variety of ways to communicate and influence the people of Afghanistan and supporters in other Muslim countries. While their 'night letters' reflect traditional Afghan practice and are aimed at a domestic audience, the adoption of the internet and multimedia formats is a more controversial development for the movement and seems largely intended for an international audience.

The term was originally used to describe the messages covertly distributed by the various mujahideen factions fighting Soviet forces in Afghanistan during the 1980s. It was quickly re-adopted after the Taliban regime was toppled in 2001. A March 2002 AP article reported that residents in Afghanistan's southern and eastern provinces said they had received night letters calling for 'holy war'." (Janes)
