Musa Khan Khel, who was working for Geo News channel and The News daily, was shot dead in the Matta area of Swat, considered a stronghold of the Taliban. He was 28 years of age.
Khan Khel had gone to the area to cover talks expected to be held between Taliban leader Maulana Fazlullah and his father-in-law Maul-ana Sufi Mohammad, whose group has reached an agreement with the North West Frontier Province government on enforcing Sharia law in Swat and in parts of the province.
Information Minister Sherry Rehman condemned Khan Khel’s murder, saying the killers would be brought to justice and has termed the murder of the television reporter as an attack on the freedom of the Press.
