The killing of an Afghan journalist in a rescue operation to free him and a colleague from Taliban captivity, has sparked calls for an inquiry into his death. Sultan Munadi was killed during a British special forces raid early on Wednesday morning on the compound in Kunduz province where the journalists were being held. Stephen Farrell, a reporter for The New York Times, was rescued unhurt. Vincent Brossel, regional head at Reporters Without Borders, told Al Jazeera: "It is not clear at all what happened and that is why we asked the Afghan Journalists Organisation to appeal to the British government to launch an investigation. "We must know exactly what happened because it is not clear. We don't have any clear hypothesis, and we need the truth because there is a lot of anger among Afghan journalists. "He was a very respected and senior journalist in Afghanistan, so we must know the truth."
