Afghani journalist murdered as son watches

One of Afghanistan's best-known journalists, Zakia Zaki, has been murdered in front of her two-year-old son. She was shot down by armed men who broke into her home. For six years she has run the radio station Sada-e-Sulh (Peace Radio) in Jabalussaraj, in the northern province of Parwan. Zakia, who was 35, had received several death threats after criticising warlords and the Taliban. (Via IFEX)
