Probe ordered into threats to Geo TV journalist

By IANS,

Islamabad : President Asif Ali Zardari has ordered an investigation into threats received by a senior Pakistani TV journalist who complained about it a day ago.

Geo TV anchor Hamid Mir revealed Wednesday that he received seriously threatening messages after his talk show criticised the security establishment, the Geo TV reported.

Mir stated publicly that if anything happened to him, the security establishment would be responsible.

He also sent his message to the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) in New York which quickly issued a blog condemning the threat and accused the Government of Pakistan of not doing anything about similar threats to journalists in the past.
