William Nygaard on the Rushdie attack

BBC World Service - Weekend, William Nygaard on the Rushdie attack

We speak to the translator and publisher shot for publishing Rushdie's book

We speak to the translator and publisher shot for publishing Rushdie's book.

We'll speak to the Norwegian publisher who was shot outside his home in Oslo in 1993 for publishing Salman Rushdie's book, The Satanic Verses.

Also, we are back in the Afghan capital, Kabul, a year after the city fell to the Taliban.

Joining Julian Worricker to discuss these and other issues are Maria Margaronis, a British journalist of Greek descent and radio documentary maker; and Bilal Sarwary, Afghan journalist living in exile in Canada.
