Maulana Fazlullah, nicknamed "Radio Mullah", started an illegal local FM radio channel in Swat Valley, Pakistan in 2006 to broadcast his pro-Taliban sermons. Though he considers most electronics sinful, he uses the radio to declare prohibited activities, announce people's names slated for assassination, which often includes beheading. The FM signals are relayed from mobile transmitters mounted on motorcycles and trucks for nightly broadcasts where he spreads his extremist message.
