KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) Afghanistans new Taliban rulers set up a ministry for the propagation of virtue and the prevention of vice in the building that once housed the Womens Affairs Ministry, escorting out World Bank staffers on Saturday as part of the forced move.

It was the latest troubling sign that the Taliban are restricting womens rights as they settle into government, just a month since they overran the capital of Kabul. During their previous rule of Afghanistan in the 1990s, the Taliban had denied girls and women the right to education and barred them from public life.

Separately, three explosions targeted Taliban vehicles in the eastern provincial capital of Jalalabad on Saturday, killing three people and wounding 20, witnesses said. There was no immediate claim of responsibility, but Islamic State groups militants, headquartered in the area, are enemies of the Taliban.

The Taliban are facing major economic and security problems as they attempt to govern, and a growing challenge by IS militants would further stretch their resources.

In Kabul, a new sign was up outside the womens affairs ministry, announcing it was now the Ministry for Preaching and Guidance and the Propagation of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice.

Staff of the World Banks $100 million Womens Economic Empowerment and Rural Development Program, which was run out of the Womens Affairs Ministry, were escorted off the grounds, said program member Sharif Akhtar, who was among those being removed.

Mabouba Suraj, who heads the Afghan Womens Network, said she was astounded by the flurry of orders released by the Taliban-run government restricting women and girls.
