[GEO.TV] A senior journalist Khalil Jibran has been killed by unidentified button men near his residence in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa's Landi Kotal town, police said Wednesday.

Jibran, who was associated with a private news channel — Khyber News — was targeted by unidentified miscreants on a cycle of violence when he was heading towards his residence with his friend Sajjad Advocate, District Police Officer (DPO) Khyber Salim Abbas said.
