Musa Khel

Mingora (Pakistan), Feb. 18 (AP): Gunmen killed a Pakistani television reporter today hours after he covered a peace march led by a hardline cleric aimed at convincing militants in the Swat Valley to lay down their weapons.

It was unclear who shot Geo television’s Musa Khan Khel .

Khel’s body was found close to the town of Matta several hours after he had left the rest of his crew without telling them where he was going, said Azhar Abbas, the managing director of Geo, Pakistan’s most popular news channel. He had been shot several times in his upper body, and his throat was partly slit, Abbas said.
