Taliban killed relative of Deutsche Welle reporter, says German broadcaster

Broadcaster says the Taliban had been doing a house-to-house search to find the journalist, who it said was now working in Germany and did not name

Taliban fighters hunting a journalist from Deutsche Welle have shot dead one member of his family and severely injured another, the German public broadcaster said, adding that three more of its journalists had had their homes raided.
 

The Islamist militant movement had promised it would allow free media - banned when it was last in power from 1996 to 2001 - when it gave its first news conference on Tuesday since capturing the capital Kabul.
 

Some Afghan journalists have also reported having been beaten and their homes raided since the Taliban seized the capital Kabul on Sunday.
