It is not unusual when visiting dangerous places to hear bad news at some time during preparations. But, but, yesterday's news from Mazar-i-Sharif was horrific. So this is what I tell people:
It is the other side of the country;
I won't be in a UN compound, indeed I will be living and working with an agency that is overwhelmingly Afghan. So I won't be in an obvious target area.
That is true and good as far as that goes. But it is hard to know if this was a random event (probably) or a new turn in the conflict. My main plan is to just keep my head down.
Getting on plane now. To be continued...
