(...)Camera-Shy in Afghanistan

Things got dicey yesterday in war-torn Afghanistan for CNN reporter Christiane Amanpour; Emma Bonino, the European Union's top humanitarian aid official; and 18 others who were held for three hours by the Taliban militia, the Associated Press reported.

It seems the visitors were at a Kabul hospital when they broke the Islamic force's stricture against taking pictures, particularly of women. Four people were filming women there when the Taliban, apparently alerted by a doctor, took the EU and media group into custody.

Bonino -- who oversees $34.5 million in aid to Afghanistan -- "received apologies" from the Afghan foreign affairs department, an EU spokesman said.
