Who was Saleem Shahzad?
Syed Saleem Shahzad was a Pakistani investigative journalist who wrote widely for leading European and Asian media. He served as the Pakistan Bureau Chief of Asia Times Online and Italian news agency Adnkronos. He was found dead in a canal in North-east Pakistan, showing signs of torture, a day after he was kidnapped. Human Rights Watch accused the Pakistan intelligence services of being behind his killing, and US government officials later announced that they had "reliable and conclusive" intelligence that this was the case. Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence denied the accusations and called them "totally unfounded."
