A Pakistani journalist who wrote last week about the suspected infiltration of Pakistan’s navy by al Qaeda terrorists was found dead Tuesday, two days after he went missing in Islamabad.
Syed Saleem Shahzad’s body was found almost 100 miles north of the Pakistani capital. His face had been battered, and he had a gunshot wound in his stomach, according to sources.
Mr. Shahzad was Pakistan bureau chief of Hong Kong-based Asia Times Online and author of “Inside al Qaeda and the Taliban: Beyond Bin Laden and 9/11.”
