Taliban Kill Deutsche Welle Journalist's Relative In Afghanistan

The Taliban had raided the homes of at least three other DW journalists, the broadcaster said.

Taliban fighters in Afghanistan have shot and killed a relative of a Deutsche Welle journalist while hunting for him, the German public broadcaster said. The terrorists were conducting a house-to-house search for the journalist, who now works in Germany, DW said Thursday. A second relative was seriously wounded but others were able to escape, it said, without giving details of the incident. DW director general Peter Limbourg condemned the killing, which he said showed the danger to media workers and their families in Afghanistan.
