Jamali, President Pakistan Federal Union of Journalists (PFUJ) and General Secretary Rana Muhammad Azeem have strongly condemned the murder of Senior Journalist Khalil Jibran (associated with Khyber News) near his house at Landi Kotal town of KP by unidentified gunmen during Eid-ul-Adha Holidays.

According to sources, Khalil Jibran’s vehicle developed some fault while he was driving towards his house alongwith a lawyer (identified as Sajjad), when the miscreants riding a motorcycle attacked them.
