Journalist's Afghanistan Adventure, Online

Web Site Provides Journal

POSTED: 5:08 p.m. EDT October 26, 2001
UPDATED: 7:57 p.m. EST October 31, 2001

Behdad Behnam's concern for his brother, who happens to be in Afghanistan, led him to the Internet.

Behnam set up a Web site to allow friends and family members to keep up with his brother, Babak Behnam, in the midst of the U.S. military response in Afghanistan. The United States and its allies have been bombing the country in their fight against the Taliban for three weeks.

Babak Behnam is a producer for NBC News on assignment in the Middle East.

Behdad Behnam speaks to his brother regularly, and updates the site with comments from their conversations. He has also included maps and other links to further inform visitors about the nation.

Behnam also created a guest book in which visitors to the site can leave messages that he will post for his brother to read when he returns from his Middle East assignment.

The online journal can be found by clicking here.
