We are very upset to hear the bed news of the killing of senior journalist Mr Ibrahim Jan. He was one of the brave journalists of the tribal are who was committed to the FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION. I think he was killed by the Islamic terrorists who has established kingdom in the area. These extremists are supported by the Central Government of the Islamic Pakistan.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
