CHILLING GLIMPSE INTO AFGHANISTAN AIRS TONIGHT.

Byline: - Rob Lowman

CNN will rebroadcast the documentary ``Beneath the Veil'' at 11 tonight. The one-hour program in which London-based documentarian Saira Shah used secret cameras to film life under the ruling Taliban in Afghanistan was originally broadcast in June in England and then on CNN Aug. 26.

Since the terrorist attacks, CNN repeated the program last weekend, but if you missed it, we recommend you tune in - in fact, we recommend you tape it. We will warn you, as does the program, that what you will see is graphic, including horrifying executions, the gruesome remains of massacre victims, abject poverty and an abhorrent mistreatment of women.

The English-born Shah, who is the daughter of an Afghani father and Indian mother, spent time in refugee camps along the Afghanistan-Pakistan border talking to refugees before venturing into the Taliban-ruled country.

Shah was aided by women's resistance group RAWA - the Revolutionary Association of the Women of Afghanistan - which supplied some of the hidden camera footage, including the public execution of a woman at a soccer stadium built with international funds.

When Shah suggests to a Taliban official that those who paid for the stadium wanted Afghanistan to stage soccer matches, not executions, the official replies that if the international community wants soccer there, it should pay for a place where the Taliban could hold executions.

It's moments like these, plus an amazing amount of eye-opening footage - especially considering how the Taliban restricts filming - that has made ``Beneath the Veil'' timely.
