3 Women Media Workers Shot Dead in Afghanistan
----------------------------------------------

In Afghanistan, three women who worked for a local broadcast station
were shot dead in the eastern city of Jalalabad while heading home from
work Tuesday. The young women had reportedly all recently graduated from
school. Local police said the Taliban was responsible, though the group
denied involvement. At least 15 media workers have been killed in
Afghanistan over the last six months.
