Peshawar, March 21

A high-ranking officer of Pakistan’s spy agency ISI was killed along with his driver on Tuesday night when “hard core terrorists” ambushed his vehicle in the country’s northwest, security officials and police said.

Brigadier Mustafa Kamal Barki from the Inter Services Intelligence (ISI) was killed “while leading the encounter from the front” in South Waziristan’s Angoor Adda, said the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) – the media wing of the army.

In the statement, the ISPR said that intense fire was exchanged between the two sides.

Seven members of his team were injured, including two who were critically wounded.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
