New Delhi: On March 22, it was reported that the parents of Indian journalist Danish Siddiqui, who was killed in a Taliban attack in Afghanistan last year, began legal action at the International Criminal Court (ICC) against the Islamist group. Siddiqui was embedded with Afghan special forces when killed on July 16 during a failed attempt by government troops to retake Spin Boldak. His lawyer, Avi Singh, told that Siddiqui’s parents were seeking legal action against six leaders, and other unidentified commanders of the Taliban, for being a photojournalist and an Indian national.
