A journalist working with the Italian news agency Adnkronos (AKI) who had previously reported links between the Pakistani military and Al-Qaeda has been found dead in Pakistan.
Syed Saleem Shahzad's body was found near his abandoned car in Sarai Alamgir, some 150 kilometres southeast of Islamabad, AKI reported. A photo of the corpse was identified by the man's brother.
Saleem Shahzad had written an investigative report published on May 27 for Asia Times Online about ties between Al-Qaeda and the Pakistani navy after an assault on a naval base in Karachi earlier this month. |
