Front page in SMH today regarding rugged photographer Stephen Dupont and others. SD apparently was a contact of local leader Massoud, until the latter was assassinated by the Taliban just prior to 9/11. The killers in that case 9 Sept 2001 exploited a subterfuge posing as foreign media with bomb in camera (and we heard more recently that Massoud's ego might have made him reckless given the ethnicity of the fake 'media' was a real warning).
Here is our retrospective of that exhibition June 2007, with a sample of many other pictures at this link:
