A group of Afghan journalists
today blamed international troops for the death of a kidnapped
colleague during a rescue operation.In a statement issued today, the
Media Club of Afghanistan also criticised Nato commandos for leaving
his body behind while they rescued a New York Times writer.
They condemn the Taliban for abducting both men last week in northern
Afghanistan.
Local journalists laid flowers at the grave of reporter and translator
Sultan Munadi today in Kabul. He died in a Nato raid yesterday to free
him and New York Times writer Stephen Farrell. Mr Munadi was caught in
crossfire but Mr Farrell survived.
The reporters blamed international forces for launching a military
operation without exhausting other channels.
