Скачать или смотреть Two journalists killed in Pakistan port city

(9 Sep 2015) Two journalists have been shot dead in separate attacks in Pakistan's port city of Karachi in the last 24 hours.
The first attack on Tuesday night saw gunmen open fire on a van of the private satellite news channel Geo TV, killing a technician and wounding the driver.
The second attack happened on Wednesday morning with local police reporting gunmen on a motorcycle shot and killed journalist Aftab Alam, who previously worked at Geo TV, in his car, outside his home.
It wasn't clear whether the two attacks were related or due to the fact those involved were journalists.
However, Geo TV has previously been banned over a spat between it and the country's powerful Inter-Service Intelligence spy agency.
The Pakistan Federal Union of Journalists said they believe the motive behind the wave of violence was to intimidate journalists.
