Two German journalists are murdered in Afghanistan

Karen Fischer and Christian Struwe, both German journalists working for Deutsche Welle, were murdered in their tent near Baghlan, Afghanistan on October 7th. Fischer and Struwe had recently been to several United Nations Children's Fund projects in northern Afghanistan, and were on their way to Bamiyan, a central province. The motive for their killings is unknown, but CPJ reports that suspicions were heightened when it appeared that nothing had been stolen from their tent after the murders. The Interior Ministry is conducting an investigation.
