Incident
TV reporter Shahid Zehri killed in targeted explosion
Details
Zehri was driving his car on a main road in Hub when a magnetic device attached under his seat exploded.
Zehri’s journalism covered news and politics in the whole of the Balochistan province. Since 2004, the BLA has waged an armed struggle against Pakistan for Baloch independence, operating mainly in Balochistan itself.
The BLA accused Zehri of working with Pakistani intelligence and “committing various crimes” with his journalism.
Zehri’s driving companion was also injured in the attack. Zehri died shortly after arriving at Karachi hospital.
