YORK - The Committee to Protect Journalists, an independent watchdog, has urged President Asif Zardari to clarify ISIs role following US allegations that the intelligence agency ordered the killing of journalist Saleem Shahzad, as reported in The New York Times on Tuesday. The US allegations reported today reflect a suspicion long assumed true by many journalists in Pakistan, where some attacks on the press are clear attempts by intelligence agencies to intimidate probing reporters, CPJ Deputy Director Rob Mahoney said in a statement.
