In Afghanistan, the US-led NATO force is facing calls to release two Al Jazeera camera operators arrested this week. On Tuesday, Mohamed Nader was seized after NATO troops raided his home in southern Kandahar. Nader’s daughter recounted the arrest to Al Jazeera.

Daughter: “We heard gunfire in the middle of the night. We were petrified. We started screaming and calling for dad. When he went out to see what was happening, they beat him badly, and they took him with them.”

Nader’s arrest comes two days after another Al Jazeera journalist, Rahmatullah Naikzad, was detained in Afghanistan’s Ghazni province under similar circumstances. In a statement, Al Jazeera called the NATO arrests “an attempt… to suppress [our] comprehensive coverage of the Afghan war.”
