Salman Masood
Salman Masood (Urdu: سلمان مسعود) is a Pakistani journalist who has reported on Pakistan for The New York Times since 2001.[1] He is also the Resident Editor, Islamabad & Khyber-Pakhtunkwa at The Nation.
The Pakistan Rangers, a paramilitary force, conducted a warrantless search of Masood's home in Islamabad, ostensibly searching for a suspected terrorist unrelated to Masood, on 12 January 2016. The Interior Ministry apologized for the incident and denied that Masood had been targeted. Journalists staged a walkout of the National Assembly of Pakistan.[1] Pakistan Federal Union of Journalists protested the raid [2] Human Rights Watch condemned the incident.[3]
