Journalists shot in Pehswar

Nov 14 - Gunmen have shot and wounded two foreign journalists in Peshawar, the third attack in as many days on foreigners in the northwest Pakistani city.

A Japanese journalist and an Afghan colleague were attacked on the outskirts of the city, close to the border of the lawless Khyber tribal region, where Pakistani forces are trying to defeat a Taliban and al Qaeda insurgency.

The shooting comes a day after an Iranian diplomat was kidnapped and his police bodyguard shot dead in the city, while an American aid worker was gunned down on Wednesday.
