What could have happened to all these people?

They were murdered by that insidious bastard and pedophile muhammad and his mad minions.

New Delhi: Afghanistan's independent women journalists are under attack. While two women journalists have been killed in recent weeks, many others are being intimidated into silence.

Zakia Zaki, who ran a private radio station and served as a schoolteacher, was killed at her house near Kabul on late Tuesday. She was one of the few female journalists in the country to speak out during the Taliban days. She had recently been threatened by some factional commanders in her area to shut down the station or face death.

"She was doing everything openly. She was a voice for them, the weak and the poor people of this province. She was a good voice for the Parwan women," Rahimullah Samander, head of Afghanistan Independent Journalists Association, said.

The authorities say an investigation has been launched into the killing. Her killing follows the murder of Sanga Amach, a news presenter for a private television station in Kabul, last Friday. Unidentified people had warned her to stop working by and then death followed.

"I am sure they are behind this case. There will be some terrorist groups and there will be very quite radical people, extremists. They are against the freedom of speech and, particularly, they are against women activists in Afghanistan," Shukria Barikzai, a Member of Parliament in Afghanstan, says.

The attacks on women are seen as part of a broader pattern emerging in Afghanistan, where violence is overshadowing every effort to stabilise and rebuild the country
