Clarification to B.B.C journalist threats

----------
Assuredly, when a person says something he/she has the power and ability to do that. I am sure the person enough support and force behind his threats to reveal the identity of an independent journalist. Needless to say, the person is doing his/her job confidently. If he is threatening an independent journalist, he is sure in his work and he has connection to those warlords, who have already been blacklisted as war criminals, released by international agencies such as the Human Rights Watch on July 7. I am sure he has certain links to warlords who are still in power in Afghanistan.

If he cannot do that, how possible he is trying to stone me? If he doesn’t have the hidden strength and support behind his threats, how comes he is counting the numbers of my 'days' in my life?
He may not in person kill me, but he makes known my real name to both public and the local authorities, he introduces my identity to those who have already murdered hundreds of other innocent lives, and to those who kidnapped the three staff members of the United Nations from a crowded Kabul road in the day light.

I have written lots of critical articles about insecurity in Kabul, kidnapping, hostages, suicide bombers, cover in Islam, living conditions for women in Afghanistan, and they currently suffer from, also about religion, warlords in the authorities, the Karzai's government, dimensions of freedom: freedom of speech, freedom of thoughts, and about the disastrous calamity of KAM Air plane.

In the past I was receiving life threatening message, which were asking my connection to any particular political groups and/or parties. I was receiving nasty messages which were pointing as to how to count the days of my life. But I did care, I ignored all of them and maintained writing.

In Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan, where the security is apparently being taken care of by US troops and International armed forces, three United Nation workers were kidnapped, Climenta Contoni, an Italian aid-worker kidnapped in the public, children are being kidnapped the examples of which are not one or two but tens. You think an independent journalist like me, who is going outdoors everyday, will be safer than expatriates and those who are having special body-guards to escort and safeguard them at any moment??

I am waiting to receive the result of investigation from B.B.C.
