Description of Incident: The editor, Abdul Ghafoor Iteqad, of the weekly Farda, or Tomorrow, was arrested by two men from the prosecutor's office, who told him that the cartoon, drawn on his instructions, had insulted the president.

Results of Incident: The order to arrest him came from the man considered by many people here to be the most powerful in the country — not the president, but the defense minister and vice president, Marshal Muhammad Fahim. Mr. Karzai was out of the country at the time, and Marshal Fahim was in charge. The president returned two days later, laughed at the cartoon and immediately ordered the editor's release.
