In Afghanistan, an Afghan radio journalist with the BBC has been killed in the southern province of Helmand. The reporter, Abdul Samad Rohani, was the second journalist to die in Afghanistan this year. His father, Mowlawi Dost Mohammad, remembered his son at the hospital.

Mowlawi Dost Mohammad: “He was martyred. My son was innocent. We cannot do anything now. He is not with us anymore. I am sure if anyone heard this sad news, he would pray for him. And God bless all of you who are here with me.”
