Another journalist was killed in a suicide bomb blast Saturday in Pakistan, tragically underscoring the country’s reputation as one of the most dangerous places in the world for journalists.

Azmat Ali Bangash, a correspondent working part-time for the Associated Press of Pakistan (APP), as well as for Pakistan TV, was killed when two bombs exploded in the Kacha Pakha area of Kohat in the Northwest Frontier Province (NWFP).

At least 41 people were killed and at least 65 people were reported injured in the two consecutive blasts, which occured within a few minutes of each other. The blasts occurred at a camp for internally displaced persons, which attempts to provide relief for people uprooted by fighting in the tribal areas of Pakistan’s NWFP, which has been the site of intensive fighting between islamist groups and security forces.

According to the APP, Bangash was at the camp to cover the distribution of food aid to refugees when two suicide bombers clad in ‘Burqas’ detonated bombs within minutes of each other.

According to an APP statement, Bangash had been receiving death threats for some time over his coverage of Taliban activities. He had also reportedly told APP staff of fears that he was on a ‘hit list’ of the Taliban.

A source at APP Islamabad  informed IPI that in March, Bangash had filed an application for a transfer to Islamabad, which apparently was in the final stages of approval as of last week. The source, who asked to remain anonymous because they are not authorised by the agency to comment on the matter, also said that in light of the risks faced by reporters working in Pakistan’s restive NWFP and Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) regions, the media organization had taken the decision to treble the salaries of part-time correspondents working in the region.

According to news reports, a branch of the Punjabi Taliban, Laskar-e-Jhangvi Al-Alami, claimed responsibility for the attack.

IPI Deputy Director Alison Bethel McKenzie said: “The fact that these attackers targeted refugees fleeing from violence in their hometowns demonstrates their utter disregard for the lives and welfare of the people of the region, including journalists trying to do their job. We condemn this senseless violence in the strongest terms and offer our condolences to the family, friends and colleagues of Azmat Ali Bangash, and of all those affected by Saturday’s renewed violence.”

Pakistan has repeatedly been in the news over attacks against journalists in recent weeks. On Friday, IPI reported that a cameraman working for Samaa TV in Quetta was killed when a bomb exploded at a hospital in the city.

A week earlier, two journalists who had been interviewing a Taliban official were reported missing, also in the Kohat area. Although Taliban spokespersons have claimed that the journalists are unharmed and voluntarily traveled to the group’s strongholds, they have not been heard from since.
