Aljazeera.Net - Aljazeera crew freed after Kabul arrest: "'This area is purely civilian where there was nothing to indicate that taking pictures was prohibited. The team then began to set their filming equipment when the US embassy guards came, apprehended them and took them to the US military command for questioning,' Allawi said.

The three were taken for questioning and were only released after signing an affidavit that they would not violate the law.

'Then we contacted the Afghani Interior Ministry and we were clearly told that what the team had done did not constitute a violation of the law.

'That was also confirmed by the police officer who escorted our colleagues. Nevertheless, the US forces seized the team's mobile phones and cameras and cancelled the press card of our colleague, Wali Allah Shahin,' Allawi said."
