| [Pak Daily Times] The Banned organization, Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistain, grabbed credit on Wednesday for murdering a senior journalist Misri Khan in Hangu district on Tuesday. The claim for responsibility was made by deputy TTP front man Ehsanullah Ehsan over a phone conversation to a BBC journalist in Beautiful Downtown Peshawar. Veteran journalist Misri Khan was rubbed out on Tuesday outside his newspaper distribution agency in Hangu city, plagued by sectarian violence. Ehsan told the BBC journalist that Khan was twisting facts in his reports about the Taliban. "He twisted facts whenever we gave him a report. He has (had) a leaning towards the army in his reports," explained the TTP spokesperson. Journalists covering the militancy story said that the Taliban capos expressed anger at certain media organisations for ignoring their viewpoints in the reports. |
