Afghan President Hamid Karzai has ordered proper investigation into the killing of a journalist in capital Kabul last night by unidentified persons. In a statement, the President ordered authorities to spare no effort in bringing killers to justice. The body of Sayed Hamid Noori, a former state television news anchor was found outside his home. He was a member of Afghanistan's Association of Independent Journalists. Reporters in Afghanistan face pressure from the government, local politicians and Taliban insurgents, all of whom take seriously any negative reporting. At least 20 Afghan journalists have been killed and 200 physically assaulted in the past decade, with many more leaving the profession or fleeing the country amid threats to their safety.
