Chevieux's father, Georges, said his son had left Geneva in October on a photography trip that had already taken him to Russia, Japan, India and Nepal.
“He probably died for taking one photo too many,” Chevieux told the daily “Le Matin”.
They took a really big risk in traveling there. It's sad that this happened.The agency reiterated a warning to tourists not to travel to Afghanistan as security has deteriorated in the run-up to elections.

I love the part about security being cut before the elections. Now, little ol Georgie wouldn't do that would he?

On a later note, the Beheading of the American in Iraq is also some sad stuff. I walk outside to get my newspaper this morning and the Headline picture is the father and brother of this man collapsed on the ground weeping, it was very upsetting. Is this the cost we were willing to pay for war in Iraq?
