BBC statment

---------
Unfortunately i can not bring all parts of statement because BBC itself tried this time to disclose my identity, this statement released while they lunched a deep investigation to disscover my identity.
Also i had problem in reading the text, it made me confused. Unfortunately the statement compiled with mistakes.

BBC statement:

The BBC has met with Sohrab Kabuli – the pseudonym for the Afghan blogger - who alleges that offensive e-mails were sent from a BBC staff member in the Kabul office.

At the meeting:
The BBC reassured Mr Kabuli that he is not under threat from any part of the BBC.
The BBC confirmed to Mr Kabuli that the BBC found no evidence of threatening behaviour toward Mr Kabuli by any BBC staff member.

We also stated that the BBC is clear such a communication or behaviour would contravene BBC guidelines and be unacceptable if they came from any BBC staff member.
We assured him that we will not reveal his true identity.

The BBC also said that it treated this matter extremely seriously and conducted an urgent investigation over a number of weeks both in London and in Kabul to ascertain whether the e-mails came from the BBC.
The BBC has concluded its investigation but has been unable to reach a definitive answer for reasons outlined below.
However we believe that evidence has been brought forward now to question the contents of the complaint and the manner in which Mr Kabuli's website was allegedly accessed from a BBC computer.

The BBC was able to establish the following facts during the investigation:
The IP address mentioned by Sohrab Kabuli in his blog belongs to a computer located in the BBC’s Kabul office.
The computer is not assigned to a particular individual and can be used by anybody in the office.
The BBC is unable to confirm whether the alleged threatening message came from the machine, had a message altered or was altered on the blog to appear to have come from the PC.

Mr Kabuli has furnished us with evidence that the IP address has been in contact with his computer.
This contact is undisputed as the BBC had conducted a written interview with Mr Kabuli early in July, prior to the allegation. The BBC was unable to use the article. At this point Mr Kabuli threatened to lodge a complaint against the producer.
It was at this time that allegations claiming death threats surfaced for the first time.

The investigation has brought forward evidence that Mr Kabuli has been a frequent visitor to the BBC’s Kabul offices. He is well-known to members of staff, some of whom have a personal relationship with him. Therefore his visits to the building, including the room where the computer in question is situated, have usually been unsupervised.

Despite our best efforts we have found no hard or conclusive evidence that the threat came from a member of the BBC staff. Therefore we have concluded that a complaint from Mr Sohrab Kabuli cannot be upheld on the evidence so far gathered. If Mr Kabuli has further evidence it will be gratefully received by the BBC.

Mr Kabuli has called for the dismissal of a particular BBC staff member. The BBC is puzzled how the dismissal of a staff member would diminish, should it exist, any perceived threat to his life. This, added to the fact that Mr Kabuli is now making wild and unsubstantiated allegations against the BBC staff member, leads the BBC to be concerned at his motivations.

The BBC is now drawing a line on correspondence on this matter, unless further conclusive evidence is forthcoming.
The absence of a proper explanation so far leads the BBC to believe a political motive aimed at undermining the BBC maybe at the heart of this episode.
The BBC pledges to investigate future serious complaints immediately, if the complaint is sent promptly.

In the meantime we areBBC is taking steps to tighten security on its buildings, control access to work areas and ensure that non-BBC staff dodoes not have unsupervised access to its computers.
