Pakistani TV news anchor Hamid Mir was shot 3 times by gunmen in a car and on 2 motorcycles near Karachi’s airport. The bullets had struck Mir’s intestines, leg and pelvic area. Later, he underwent a successful operation at a private hospital. Hamid Mir believed ISI, the Pakistan’s powerful intelligence agency and its leader Lt. Gen. Zaheerul Islam had plans to assassinate him. Although the Pakistani military public relations agency ISPR reported that raising allegations against ISI or the head of ISI without any basis is highly regrettable and misleading.
Hamid Mir is a former newspaper reporter and editor. He used to write columns and host political talk show on Geo News. He is also writing a book on Osama Bin Laden, the late al Qaeda leader.
