Statements from B.B.C:
date 05/07/2005
The BBC is treating this allegation seriously. We are conducting an urgent investigation both in London and in Kabul to ascertain whether the e-mails came from the BBC. We are clear that such a communication would be unacceptable if it came from any BBC staff member and would contravene BBC guidelines. We will communicate the results of our investigation as soon as we have reliable information.

Dear Mr Kabuli,
I would like to acknowledge the receipt of your letter making serious allegations against a member of my staff. May I assure you that we are conducting an in-depth investigation which at this stage is continuing. I'm enclosing a statement released by the BBC explaining our current position:
"The BBC has been investigating a serious allegation that offensive e-mails were sent from one of its staff members in the Kabul office. We are treating this extremely seriously. We are clear such a communication would contravene BBC guidelines and be unacceptable if they came from any BBC staff member. We are conducting an urgent investigation both in London and in Kabul to ascertain whether the e-mails came from the BBC.
At this stage we have found no evidence of inappropriate or threatening behaviour by our staff towards Mr Sohrab Kabuli who made the complaint. The BBC continues to investigate the complaint further and will communicate the results of our investigation as soon as we have any reliable information. But at this stage we can re-affirm that we have found no evidence of threatening behaviour toward Mr Kabuli by any BBC staff member. "

I was looking on traffic IPs on my Blogs when i logged in my Linux System, i was pinging the IP 132.185.144.120 which was more in use and active for browsing my URL in every five minutes. I saw the computer which i received threats is used this IP: 10.4.22.43
The computer which sent threat messages used this IPs:
- 132.185.144.120
- 10.4.22.43
both are used in single computer that the user threatened me to death
Please help me!
I think B.B.C London is using the Frame Relay System which the Afghanistan Service is part of London, a WAN Network system.
I am 100% sure that the IP (10.4.22.43) which threatened me to death is the one that i putted in my Blog. this is the exact the Computer address which send me the threats.
I am asking from Bloggers and others Please help me, your help will safe my life.
Please help me, I need to contact to London police and court there to ask from B.B.C why they are threaten an independant journalist?
The only reason for people in B.B.C is against me is my independent and freelance style of political journalism. As I write about those important issues that "famous" media do not reflect realistically. The issues like various explosions in Kabul, the collapse of KAM Air plane, insecurity and number of other issues.
