New York Times: Held by the Taliban parts 2 & 3


Hopefully you read Part 1 already! The following is Part 2 & 3. To get you up to speed or brief you:
This is the second and third installment in a five-part series offering a first-person account by David Rohde of his seven months as a captive of the Taliban in Pakistan. Mr. Rohde, a New York Times reporter, was kidnapped with two Afghan colleagues on Nov. 10, 2008, as they traveled to an interview with a Taliban commander outside of Kabul, Afghanistan.
The articles are based on Mr. Rohde’s recollections and, where possible, records kept by his family and colleagues. For safety reasons, certain names and details have been withheld.

New York Times Journalist held by Taliban!


Have you read the NYTimes yet!!??
David Rohde, a New York Times journalist was scheduled to interview a Taliban leader when in route, he was kidnapped by another Taliban faction and held for over 7 months.
As a result of his capture and escape, he wrote a series of in-depth articles covering his terrorful ordeal with the group.
I discovered this captivating article in this past Sunday's edition. The 5-part series will be running daily in the NYTimes all week. I highly recommend you read it via ONLINE or PRINT (just buy a copy each day and support a dying medium!)It is a mere two bucks!
