Ten journalists were killed in the deadliest attack on Afghanistan's media since 2001. Plus, Winnie Mandela's legacy.
Afghanistan: 10 journalists killed in a single day
The Afghan journalists rushing to the site of an explosion this past week in Kabul were trying to cover the news.
They didn't realise it was set up.
Amid the media scrum, a second suicide bomber, disguised as a news cameraman, detonated his device.
The attacks, claimed by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL, known as ISIS), left 29 people dead, including 10 journalists. They were a brutal reminder of the perils of being in the news business in Afghanistan.
