A tribal journalist was shot and wounded in South Waziristan Agency early Saturday morning in a second attack on journalists in three months. Mujeebur Rehman, correspondent of Daily Times and Reuters Television in Wana, regional headquarters of South Waziristan Agency, was slightly injured in the hand by a single shot after four masked gunmen opened fire on him in a drive-by shooting at 6:45am on Saturday. "I was lucky to escape death as the gunmen fired metres away from my home in Dhog village near Wana," Rehman told Daily Times by phone from Wana. "I was going to Wana for professional duty when I was attacked," he said. The attack on Rehman was the second since February 7 when two tribal journalists — Allah Noor and Mir Nawab — were gunned down in Wana. "I have no personal feud or grudge and I received no prior threat. I cannot say who they (assailants) were," Rehman said. Meanwhile, authorities in Wana suspended three tribal police officers for "negligence on duty" in connection with the attempt on Rehman's life. Rehman said the officers could have arrested the gunmen had they moved.
