The Kabul Times, established in 1962, was the first English language printed newspaper in Afghanistan.
Following the 1978 coup, the Kabul Times was renamed New Kabul Times, and began to print Communist rhetoric that was reminiscent of days during the Cold War and was highly confrontative to the Western culture.
As of 2002, the Kabul Times is a daily paper that is in circulation in Afghanistan.
Famous quotes containing the word times:
“A hook shot kisses the rim and
hangs there, helplessly, but doesn’t drop
and for once our gangly starting center
boxes out his man and times his jump
perfectly, gathering the orange leather
from the air like a cherished possession”
—Edward Hirsch (b. 1950)
