Photos From Gardez Attacks

On Tues. we got a live report from Scott Kesterson, a documentary filmmaker who’s in Gardez on an embed right now.  There were multiple suicide attacks there–almost all of wich were foiled by Afghan security forces– and Scott was there to witness some of the drama.

Here, and after the jump, are some of his pics from that day:

    About Me

    I’m a writer and reporter living in Kabul, Afghanistan. For the past four years I’ve been an investigative reporter at various Village Voice Media weeklies, and before that I worked on documentary films in New York City.

    I am currently a journalism mentor and news editor for The Killid Group, a not-for-profit radio and print organization based in Kabul, with five radio stations and many bureaus throughout Afghanistan.

    My writing has appeared in The Washington Post, Philadelphia Inquirer, Christian Science Monitor, Village Voice, Modern Drunkard and other fine publications.

    Originally from Philadelphia, I’ve also worked in south Florida and Nashville, Tennessee.
