Pakistani journalist killed near Afghanistan border

KHAR, Pakistan -- Gunmen shot dead a Pakistani journalist on Thursday in the Bajaur region on the Afghan border where al Qaeda linked militants have been known to operate, his company and residents said. Mohammad Ibrahim, a reporter with the Express News private television channel, was attacked when returning from an interview with a spokesman for Pakistani Taliban militants, they said.

“He was on a motorcycle and the gunmen sprayed bullets at him just outside Khar. They took away his camera and bike,” said another reporter in the area, Sahibazada Bahasuddin, referring to the region’s main town.
