The Taliban have replaced the statue of a Hazara leader declared a national martyr by the former government with a replica of the Koran -- a move they warned could trigger violence. The original statue depicted Abdul Ali Mazari, a leader of the mostly Shiite minority killed while he was a prisoner of the Taliban during their first stint in power. The statue was decapitated by a rocket-propelled grenade soon after the Taliban returned to power in August, in an incident residents of the city in central Afghanistan blamed on the hardline Islamists.
