Representatives from CNN, The New York Times, Al-Jazeera, the BBC World Service, a London Arabic-language daily paper, and the South African Broadcasting Corporation were all present. They were joined via satellite by Lakhdar Brahimi, Special Representative of the U.N. Secretary General for Afghanistan, and High Commissioner for Human Rights Mary Robinson.
