| #2 This needs to happen more often, the Taliban needs to have any and all Favorable media outlets cut off. One down thousands to go, war is dangerous. |

| #1 He said Ibrahim, in his 40s, was returning after interviewing the Taliban spokesman when masked gunmen stopped him near Inayat Kalay, 15 kilometres from Khar. “He was shot dead on the spot while attackers took away his video camera and motorcycle,” If he was interviewing the Taliban, one wouldn't ordinarily think they would "off" him. If not the Taliban, who? Common garden variety thugs? |
