ABC to open News bureau in Kabul

The ABC will open a News bureau in Afghanistan in 2011.

The decision to establish a presence in Kabul follows a comprehensive review of the ABC’s international bureaux, and a reorganisation of bureau resources. The bureau will operate for at least 12 months as a base for coverage of news in the Afghanistan and Pakistan region.

It also follows the Federal Government recently saying Australia would be involved in the war in Afghanistan for at least the next decade — via redwolf.newsvine.com
