ISLAMABAD — Last week, a prominent Pakistani investigative reporter published an article alleging that al-Qaeda had infiltrated the Pakistani navy and carried out the recent attack on a naval air base. On Tuesday, the journalist’s body — his face severely beaten — was found 100 miles from his home, two days after he disappeared.
Syed Saleem Shahzad’s killing was payback — other journalists and human-rights activists said they believed — not from militants but from Pakistan’s fearsome spy agencies.
An ISI official denied that the agency was involved.
