Targeted Killings to Be Discussed in Talks: Stanekzai
Chief negotiator Masoom Stanekzai on Friday said the issue of targeted attacks on journalists is a serious matter and will be raised in the talks with the Taliban when they resume on January 5.
“This is one of the serious issues that we need to raise and follow,” Stanekzai said.
Six journalists have been killed in various incidents in the country over the last two months.
On Friday, Bismillah Adil Aimaq, a journalist and civil society activist in Ghor, was killed in an attack by unknown armed men in the city of Feroz Koh, the center of the province, local officials said.
