Unknown gunmen have attacked and injured the editor-in-chief Abdul Saboor Sarir of the Kabul-based English daily Afghanistan Times, the latest such attack in Afghanistan where journalists are often subjected to violence and threats. The overnight attack on Abdul Saboor Sarir took place in a highly secured part of the Afghan capital Kabul. The area is in the 15th Police District and is only 3.5 kilometers away from Ministry of Interior. Three armed men intercepted his vehicle in the Khwaja Bughra area of the city while he was returning home from the office and took away the car, Sarir’s laptop and cell phones after inflicting head injuries on him. However, it is not the first time that had come under attack. He was repeatedly threatened by different groups with dire consequences. Five months ago (May 2016), unknown people tried to abduct him in the fourth police district. When a police vehicle appeared on the scene the kidnappers fled.(20161011)
