Pakistaanse fotojournalist ontvoerd door Taliban
The abduction Friday of two Pakistani journalists representing the New York Times in troubled Mohmand Agency by pro-Taliban fighters has put the spotlight on a spate of kidnappings for ransom that has swept the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) bordering Afghanistan.
The two, journalist Pir Zubair Shah and photojournalist Akhtar Soomro, were on assignment when they were abducted by the Taliban from Ziarat Marble in Lakaro tehsil.
Soomro, a photojournalist, has worked for the influential U.S.-based daily for the past few years. He is from Sindh province and was allegedly detained and tortured in restive Balochistan province two years ago.
