IFJ Seeks Probe on Kunduz Radio Attack
Kabul (BNA) The International Federation of journalists (IFJ) on Tuesday vehemently condemned the attack on a radio station in northern Afghanistan.
While denouncing the incident, IFJ called on the Afghan government to investigate the attack on Zohra Radio by a mob led by a local imam in Kunduz province on January 15. The radio station’s equipment was damaged and its office vandalized. The Afghan Independent Journalists’ Association (AIJA) also condemned the attack.
Mohsen Ahmad, the director of the Zohra Radio, accused a local mosque prayer leader of directing the crowd to attack the radio station.
