Growing fears as more Afghan journalists and media workers come under the gun - Committee to Protect Journalists: 

"Afghan journalists have long been under the gun, but the pressure on them is mounting as the security situation in Afghanistan continues to deteriorate," said Bob Dietz, CPJ's Asia program coordinator. "The government has made promises to address the situation, but it must join with media owners and Afghan journalists' organizations to find an effective method of reversing the hostile environment in which journalists and media houses are forced to operate."
