Twitter, facebook speed up Afghan coverage
KABUL (PAN): “Is anyone in Kabul hearing booms and pop-pop of gunfire? Or is it just me?” This was one of first tweets about the January 18 multiple terrorist attacks in the heart of the central capital.
The assailants targeted the Presidential Palace, Serena Hotel, Faroshgah, Gulbahar Business Centre and many other places, fuelling panic and chaos across the city. The tweet was posted by a Kabul-based British woman, who has a twitter account http://twitter.com/girlofgordon.
