Update from Afghanistan
Today on our weekly Underreported feature, former NPR correspondent Sarah Chayes calls in live from Afghanistan. The last month has seen an increase of violence there: riots broke out in Jalalabad, an Italian aid worker was kidnapped in Kabul, and a suicide bomber killed 20 in a mosque in Kandahar. And just yesterday, two US soldiers were killed in an attack by militants in southeastern Afghanistan. We’ll get an update on these situations, and find out what we’re not hearing about in the news.
