Re CNN from an earlier story:

Early Thursday morning [Sept. 13], Robertson called a CNN executive in New York and said the Taliban had warned Western journalists in the Afghan capital to evacuate.

"I got a call at 2:30 a.m. from Nic Robertson, and he said that . . . any journalist who stayed behind faced certain death, and that he was going to leave immediately," said Eason Jordan, chief news executive for CNN News Group. "About 5 a.m., he called back and said he had talked with some Taliban officials, and they were prepared to let him stay as long as he acknowledged--in writing--that they could not protect him."

Robertson is the deputy bureau chief for CNN's London bureau, and he had been in Kabul covering the trial of eight international aid workers charged with converting Muslims to Christianity.
