<b>Slain TV reporter had 32 bullet wounds</b>
PTI | Islamabad
Angry Pak journalists hold protest march
The body of slain TV reporter Musa Khan Khel was riddled with 32 bullet wounds in what is being described as a âdeliberate and plannedâ killing in volatile Swat, as hundreds of Pakistani journalists on Thursday took out protest marches across north-west Pakistan and vowed not to back down.
The killing of 28-year-old Musa, a Swat correspondent for private Geo TV, by unknown gunmen triggered a wave of anger among the journalists who condemned the killings of scribes in the troubled region. The attacks against mediamen is an attempt to scare them away from the restive region, they said.
The journalists wearing black bands on their arms and foreheads shouted slogans like âWe want justice!â, âwe want Musa Khan Khelâs killers arrested!â and âwe salute Musa Khan Khelâs courage!â, as they staged protests outside the Governorâs house in the main NWFP city of Peshawar.
Musaâs colleague Hamid Mir said they would not be cowed down and will not stop reporting from the tense Swat region and demanded that the killing be investigated.
At the rally at Swat, where the reporter was killed, speakers, who included Hamid Mir and journalist union leaders, termed the killing as "deliberate and cold blooded" so that the "happenings" there do not reach the outside world.
Mir said Musaâs killing was âdeliberate and plannedâ as his body had as many as 32 gunshot wounds.
Azhar Abbas, the managing director of Geo, said Musa had been shot several times in his upper body, and his throat was partly slit.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
