Journalists killed in Pakistani tribal ambush
2005-02-08
Two Pakistani journalists have been killed and another injured after gunmen opened fire on their car in the tribal region near the Afghan border. A fourth journalist, working for al-Jazeera television, who was also in the car, escaped injuries. They were returning to the town of Wana, in the South Waziristan region, after covering a meeting of tribal elders, when their car was ambushed.
