Al Jazeera team freed in Kabul after questioning
2006-01-02
DUBAI - US and Afghan forces released the Kabul correspondent of Al Jazeera television, his driver and a cameraman on Sunday hours after holding and questioning them, the station said.

An Al Jazeera journalist said from Kabul that the three had not been aware of any restrictions on reporting in the area where they were held. The Qatar-based station earlier quoted a statement from the US forces as saying the team had been filming locations of a ”security nature” near the headquarters of the US-led troops operating in Afghanistan.
But they're not on the other side, nope, no truth to that at all, nope nope ...

#1  the three had not been aware of any restrictions

But they are journalists. Isn't finding things out what they're paid to do?
