A wreckage of a bus which carried employees of an Afghan television station and was bombed is seen in Kabul, Afghanistan May 30, 2020. “Our colleagues Mir Wahed Shah, an economic reporter, and Shafiq Amiri, an employee in the technical department, were martyred in the incident,” said Mohammad Rafi Rafiq Sediqi, chief executive of the state-run Khurshid TV station. The Taliban warned the Afghan media last year to stop broadcasting what it called “anti-Taliban statements”. In 2016, a Taliban suicide bomber rammed his car into a bus carrying employees of Tolo TV, the country’s largest private broadcaster, killing seven journalists. The Taliban said Tolo was producing propaganda for the U.S. military and western-backed Afghan government.
