Receiving threat messages from B.B.C

Since a week ago i am receiving threat messages to my personal safety from B.B.C journalist in Kabul, I can not continue updating this page for a few days. I found his computer address (IP) I gave the IP to tracker machine (IP tracer) and found the result here:



I am in tension and in a very bad condition mood.
