NBC’s Williams in Afghanistan

NBC anchor Brian Williams traveled to Afghanistan on Tuesday to report live from the region this week, covering the U.S. battle against the Taliban.

Williams arrived in Kabul as tensions rose about a U.S. air strike on the Afghan border Tuesday night that killed almost a dozen Pakistani troops. ABC senior foreign correspondent Jim Sciutto also arrived in Afghanistan on Wednesday and planned to embed with U.S. troops, the network said.

Williams, who has traveled to Iraq four times, wrote on his blog Wednesday: “I’ve been trying to get here for some time.”
