Attack on Journalist Starts Battle in Pakistani Press
Accusations that the country’s spy agency was involved in the attack have led to a divisive debate and demands that a television station be shut down.
At issue are claims aired by Geo News, Mr. Mir’s employer and the largest station, that the military’s powerful spy agency, the Inter-Services Intelligence directorate, was behind the April 19 attack in which Mr. Mir was shot six times as he traveled to a Karachi television studio.
