Al Jazeera has obtained a copy of the Taliban's new military code of conduct, approved by their Afghan leader, Mullah Omar.
The document outlines the use of suicide bombings, guidelines on the treatment of hostages and how to win the battle for the hearts of the Afghan population.
As Al Jazeera's James Bays reports from the capital, Kabul, the book offers rare insight into how the Taliban is evolving in Afghanistan.
