Five gunmen kidnapped a tribal journalist in North Waziristan early on Monday morning, his family told Daily Times. "Five armed men kidnapped him at gunpoint at 8:30am on Monday on the main Mir Ali-Bannu highway," said the kidnapped journalist's brother, who did not wish to be named. Hayatullah Khan, who is in his 40s, was to cover a demonstration by students against the killing of their colleague in a December 1 missile strike in which five people, including top Al Qaeda commander Hamza Rabia, were reportedly killed. The owner of the house where the blast happened, Haji Mohammad Siddiq, is an uncle of the kidnapped journalist.
