Daesh suspected for killing Nangarhar-based journalist
[Khaama (Afghanistan)] The terrorist group of the Islamic State...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... (IS) which is locally known by its Arabic name Daesh [Islamic State] might be behind the killing of Haji Mohammad Zubair Khaksar, a local journalist in eastern Nangarhar The unfortunate Afghan province located adjacent to Mohmand, Kurram, and Khyber Agencies. The capital is Jalalabad. The province was the fief of Younus Khalis after the Soviets departed and one of his sons is the current provincial Taliban commander. Nangarhar is Haqqani country.. province. According to NAI, an organization that supports open media in Afghanistan, a colleague of Khaksar has said that he was previously threatened by Daesh [Islamic State]. NAI while strongly condemning the attack says that killing of defenseless people is against the principals of humanity and religion. The media support organization has urged government to thoroughly follow the case and share its results with media community. Khaksar who was working for the government-run Nangarhar Radio and Television network came under the attack of gunnies while driving in his vehicle in Kharkarano Kala area of Surkh Road District on Friday night. Besides being a journalist he was also serving as the Cultural Adviser for Saleem Khan Kundozi, the governor Nangarhar province. He was the first journalist being killed after Daesh [Islamic State] started threatening journalists in Nangarhar. Posted by: Fred 2016-02-01 |
