Danish Siddiqui Was 'Brutally Murdered' By Taliban, Reports Claim

According to a report on July 29, Pulitzer Prize-winning Indian journalist, Danish Siddiqui was not killed during the crossfire between the Afghan forces and Taliban but "brutally murdered" by the latter. Reportedly, Siddiqui and three other Afghan troops sought hostage in a mosque after the 38-year-old was injured by shrapnel. Taliban reportedly attacked the mosque solely because of a journalist's presence there.
