Pakistan journalist found killed

Edited on Fri Jun-16-06 10:29 AM by Barrett808

A Pakistani journalist who reported the death of an alleged al-Qaeda commander has been killed, his family say.

The body of Hayatullah Khan, 30, was discovered near the town of Mir Ali in North Waziristan tribal region.

"He was shot in the back," an official, Fida Mohammed, told AFP news agency. He said the killing appeared to be recent.

Mr Khan disappeared in December after reporting that Abu Hamza Rabia had been killed by a US missile - not in a bomb making accident as claimed by Pakistan.
