Afghanistan's ruling Taliban militia charged a French journalist and two Pakistani colleagues with spying, a crime that carries the death penalty.
Paris Match journalist Michel Peyrard and his two Pakistani colleagues, Mohammad Irfan and Mukkaram Khan, were arrested on October 9 for allegedly entering the country illegally.
Taliban intelligence chief Mullah Taj Meer told the Pakistan-based Afghan Islamic Press the three reporters had been carrying "spying equipment".
He said the two Pakistanis had previously been warned not to bring foreigners into Afghanistan illegally.
