In August 2014, Rosenberg was barred from leaving Afghanistan and interrogated by the country's attorney general after writing a story about how senior Afghan security officials were considering whether to stage what would, in essence, amount to a coup because of a mounting political crisis.[11][12] The following day, the travel ban was abruptly reversed, and Rosenberg was ordered to leave Afghanistan within 24 hours.
