Sultan Munadi

Sultan Mohammad Munadi (; 22 November 1976 on 22 November 1976. His father fought against Soviet forces during the Soviet–Afghan War in the 1980s.

British Military Intelligence discovered the house in which Munadi and Farrell were being held. On 9 September, the British Special Boat Service raided the home to rescue the captives. Farrell was rescued, but Munadi was shot and killed in the firefight between the Taliban and British forces. It was later concluded that Munadi was shot in the front by a British soldier while he was also apparently shot by Taliban bullets while trying to get to the helicopter after the British mistook him for an enemy militant.

Munadi's body was left at the scene and his parents reportedly had to collect his body themselves. Neither The New York Times nor the Munadi or Farrell families knew about the planned rescue attempt in advance. Munadi's death and the failure to retrieve his body resulted in widespread anger among Afghan journalists, claiming that Munadi's death revealed a double standard by international forces over the treatment of Western reporters versus local Afghan journalists.
