NBC's Richard Engel is a pretty busy Chief Foreign Correspondent. After three weeks in Israel/Egypt/Gaza, then two weeks in Iraq to cover the recent elections, he is now “back” in Afghanistan. Here is his latest report “Losing Ground to the Taliban”

And I would feel guilty and bad if I end this post without mentioning Atia Abawi. The new CNN Kabul Bureau Chief is doing very well in Afghanistan. Click on this link to see her latest reports on cnn.com.

She has been on CNN/I BackStory a few times. On this clip, she talks about her new assignment (December 15, 2008):

And a behind-the-scene, with CNN photojournalist Mark Phillips (February 12):

Richard Engel back in Sadr City

Seen on NBC web site,Richard Engel reported from Sadr City :"Hoping for a turnaround in Sadr City":

I am always amazed by the paints on the blast walls and Sharon sent me some very interesting links about these walls: NYT's article, LA Times's, a slide-show on BBC News site and a MSNBC video. Many thanks to her.

NBC's Richard Engel behind-the-scenes in Afghanistan

I just saw this on MSNBC website. Does NBC copy CNN's BackStory. I don't think so...

Now, if we could have the same type of report on CNN with an Australian warco with his cute producer... Just a thought!

All this hard and dangerous work for these two stories:

"Confronting Afghanistan's 'Valley of Death'"

"Seeing the enemy in Afghanistan"
