Death for killing journalists
KABUL: An Afghan court sentenced a man to death on Saturday for the 2001 killing of three foreign journalists and an Afghan colleague who were pulled from their cars, robbed and shot as they rushed to cover the collapse of the Taliban. A three-judge panel also convicted Reza Khan of raping an Italian reporter before she died, and of killing his own wife in Pakistan with a single shot from a pistol. ``You are sentenced to death,'' the presiding judge, Abdul Baset Bakhtyari, said Khan after a brief session of Afghanistan's Primary National Security Court. The journalists were travelling in a convoy from the eastern Afghan city of Jalalabad to the capital when a group of armed men stopped them on November 19, 2001.
