Taliban fighters trying to track down western-affiliated journalists allegedly shot dead a family member of an editor working for Deutsche Welle and seriously injured another, the German public broadcaster has said.
The state-owned broadcaster said the
Taliban had carried out house-to-house searches in western
Afghanistan to try to find the journalist, who had already relocated to
Germany.
