Newsweek paid my hospital bills, and gave nothing to Raza's family. I have yet to find a major news organization with a clearly articulated policy on what happens in the worst case scenarios - when the people it hires are killed, wounded or abducted. I don't believe that's an accident. Until this black hole is confronted, more people will disappear in the grey area.
In , he'd also been abducted by Taliban insurgents, along with an Afghan colleague named Sultan Munadi. Farrell was rescued by a British special forces team. Munadi was killed in the rescue , as was a British commando. Unlike the British soldier, Munadi's body was left behind. In , Ajmal Naqshbandi, my closest friend in Afghanistan, was kidnapped along with an Italian journalist named Danielle Mastrogiacamo.
The Italian journalist was freed, in exchange for the release of five high value Taliban prisoners.

In the documentary film " Fixer ", president Hamid Karzai is shown weakly explaining that the Italian government had once built a road for the Afghan government.
The deaths of Tim Hetherington and Chris Hondros were tragic and devastating to the people who knew them—but as foreign, parachute jumping journalists, their deaths were actually quite unusual. What isn't an isolated incident, however, is the disparity of treatment, and attention that's given to "internationals" and "locals". On a moral level, this is the Achilles heel of the war reporting business. It's a problem that gets worse and worse, as the news industry contracts, budgets shrink, and clearly defined staff jobs are replaced by greater numbers of inexperienced freelancers, with less clearly defined rules of engagement.
In the grey space, ethical and professional corners get cut, and more bodies get swept under the carpet. As many people have heard, the journalism industry is struggling for survival—but until it answers for its own collateral damage, the bigger question will be: does it deserve to survive?
I'd like to think that Tim and Chris would ask for those answers too. CPJ covers the costs of administering the Journalist Assistance Program — including researching cases, delivering financial assistance, and providing help with resettlement.

Many of the patients had strains of C. Out of C. In Texas, out of the 22 identified cases, two were resistant to all three antifungal medications. Pan-resistant cases of fungal infections have been seen before in the U. However, in the new outbreaks, the patients were not treated with antifungal drugs before the fungal infection, suggesting that the strain of C.
And the fact that now it can spread, it's not just in patients who are already getting treatment, means that a greater proportion of patients may have pan-resistance and [may] develop clinical infections that are potentially untreatable.
