TV reporter dies in IED attack in Helmand
2016-11-05
A television reporter was killed in an explosion triggered by an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) in southern Helmand province of Afghanistan.

According to the local security officials, the incident took place earlier today in Lashkargah city, the provincial capital of Helmand province.

The officials further added that the reporter was killed after his vehicle struck the IED in the area where intense fighting erupted last night.

The Ariana Television confirmed that one of its reporter, Nematullah Zaheer, was killed in the line of duty, confirming that the reporter was killed in a roadside bomb explosion.

“We lost a brave reporter, Nematullah Zaheer, in line of duty. Zaheer was targeted by a roadside bomb in Helmand,” Ariana News said in a Twitter post.

The Chief Executive Abdullah Abdullah condemned the killing of Zaheer, saying the death of Zahir is a major loss for the southern provinces of the country.

The anti-governmetn armed militant groups have not commented regarding the incident so far.

The Taliban insurgents and militants belonging to other insurgent groups frequently use Improvised Explosive Device (EID) as the weapon of their choice to target the security forces but in majority of such attacks the ordinary civilians are targeted.

#5  Hemingway is talentless, rote, and trite. Not a g-ddamn original thought. He probably has all his insipid phrases scribbled on his monitor. With a Sharpie.

From his basement lair littered with Skittles wrappers.

#4  Good eye, gentlemen.

Hemingway missed the thought that dog shit means dogs, very often a good thing to have around -- as my grandfather could attest after a particular day in 1937, when there was not quite an intersection between himself, his loyal hunting bitch, and the two SS officers who decided that not trying to arrest him that day was the better part of valour. And lawyers are like guns, despite the rhetoric -- an equalizer for the poor and weak that in our country anyone can wield.

#1  Nematullah Zaheer, a dead Moslem "journalist". We need Moslems? We need more "journalists".?

How about we need dog sh&t and lawyers?

Moslems kill Moslems and they kill journalists too. Big surprise. If Moslems weren't killing people we wouldn't have anything in the news. Islam is the Religion of Peace, right? yeah?
Do YOU miss this guy? Blow your nose and have some coffee.
