A large group of Afghan journalists met on Sunday in Kabul. They were angry
about the death of New York Times
journalist Sultan Mohammed Munadi in the September 9 British-led rescue attempt
to free him and Times’ reporter
Stephen Farrell, who survived unharmed, from kidnappers. After the meeting, they
sent me a list of demands and a pdf of their
signatures on a
statement they
first wrote in Dari and then translated into English. The group also sent along a
biography of Munadi.
