DUBAI, Jan 1: US and Afghan forces released the Kabul correspondent of the Arab television station Al Jazeera, his driver and a cameraman on Sunday hours after holding and questioning them, the station said. An Al Jazeera journalist said in Kabul that the three had not been aware of any restrictions on reporting in the area where they were held.
The Qatar-based station earlier quoted a statement from the US forces as saying the team had been filming locations of a ‘security nature’ near the headquarters of the US-led troops operating in Afghanistan.
