The Taliban in Afghanistan are reportedly selling tickets to the Ancient Buddha statues the terrorist group blew to bits in 2001.
The cash-strapped Taliban are running so low on money they have resorted to selling tickets to visit the remnants of two gargantuan Buddha statues the extremist group blew to smithereens in 2001 after declaring their false idols, according to a report.
A ticket booth set up near the gaping hole in the cliff where one of the two ancient monuments stood charges Afghans 58 cents and foreigners $3.45 to visit the site in the Hazarajat region of Afghanistan, the Washington Post reported.
