[Khaama Press] A BBC news hound was rubbed out by unknown in southeastern Khost province ... across the border from Miranshah, within commuting distance of Haqqani hangouts such as Datta Khel and probably within sight of Mordor. Khost is populated by six different tribes of Pashtuns, the largest probably being the Khostwal, from which it takes its name... of Afghanistan, hours after a deadly suicide kaboom in Kabul left at least nine news hounds dead. The local government officials confirmed that the BBC news hound Ahmad Shah was rubbed out in the outskirts of Khost city at around 4 pm local time. The officials further added that the news hound was travelling to a village when he was attacked by button men riding cycle of violences. In the meantime, a security official said the news hound had sustained injuries in the attack and departed this vale of tears after he was admitted to the hospital. No individual or group has so far grabbed credit behind the attack. The Taliban ...Arabic for students... group front man Zabiullah Mujahid in a statement said the group has no links with the attack on BBC news hound in Khost.

#2 It seems that news hounds are being targeted in Afghanistan. Any chance these news hounds were working for some intelligence agency? Or is it that reporters are just not liked? Do they report fake news from Afghanistan? |

#1 A tragic waste. Aren't the stories pretty much the same from one decade to the next ? |
