Fifth Afghan Media Worker Killed in Under Two Months
----------------------------------------------------

In Afghanistan, Bismellah Adel Aimaq, a 28-year-old radio journalist
from Ghor province, was shot dead in a car ambush Friday. He is at least
the fifth media professional to be killed in Afghanistan in under two
months. No group has claimed responsibility for his killing. In a
separate attack, civil society activist Abdi Jahid was also reported
killed. Intra-Afghan peace talks are set to resume this week in Doha
amid an ongoing surge in violence.
