Afghanistan's government still has not explained why two Al Jazeera producers have been detained by authorities.
Qais Azimy and Hamee-dullah Shah were told to report to intelligence forces in Kabul, the capital, three days after Azimy broadcast footage of him meeting Taliban fighters, but they have yet to return.
Al Jazeera's David Chater, who works with both men in Kabul, has this report.
