BANGKOK – It was a cold-blooded crime, a direct message from the Afghan Taliban to the media and to the world. Danish Siddiqui, 38-year-old Indian photographer from Reuters internationally renowned, winner of Pulitzer prizes, did not die as casually believed in a crossfire. That 16 July in Spin Boldak, along a hot and disputed border, the fundamentalists decided to kill the journalist on purpose and with particular cruelty, first beating him and then riddling him with bullets: this is reported by a reconstruction based on Indian and Afghan sources from the conservative weekly USA Washington Examiner.
