The Pakistani Taliban no longer has any friends -- Facebook friends that is.
An account held by the Taliban was removed by Facebook over the weekend. The account had 281 Likes at the time of removal, the Los Angeles Times reports.
The account was linked to the TTP, or Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan, and was used as for a few weeks as a recruiting tool for a quarterly magazine Ahyah-e-Khilafat (Sign of the Caliphate). The page listed job postings for video editors or writers about "jihadi current affairs."
It was a surprising move for the terrorist organization, who, as The Washington Post points out, usually uses "niche Internet outlets to spread messages."
But it seems even the Taliban couldn't resist the marketing influence that Facebook draws. Learn more about the account in the video above.
