Tribune, and The Sunday Times.
Daniel Pearl story and Kamran Khan
Inside Pakistani media circles, journalists refer to "agency reporters"
who loosely work for two bosses: their editors and Pakistani
intelligence agencies. In her book, "A Mighty Heart," Mariane Pearl the
widow of Daniel Pearl the South Asia Bureau Chief of Wall Street Journal
singled out Kamran Khan, a journalist for the English-language News in
Karachi and a Washington Post stringer, who wrote the first story that
identified Daniel Pearl as a Jewish reporter, information that Mariane
has equated to a "death sentence" in Pakistan.Khan recently told the
Washington Post that he was simply pursuing the story aggressively and
didn't mean any harm.
Khan also published intelligence agency efforts to link India to the
kidnapping by raising the possibility that Asra Q. Nomani ( was a spy
for India, claiming that she was Daniel Pearl's "full-time assistant,"
identifying her as an "Indian journalist" (she was born in India, but
have a U.S. passport and was raised a Muslim in the United States since
the age of 4) and reporting falsely that Daniel Pearl had brought her
into Karachi to work with him. He also raised questions about why Daniel
Pearl would travel to Karachi from India, where he was based, saying
"officials" were "intrigued as to why an American newspaper reporter
based in Bombay would also establish a full-time residence in Karachi."
Anyone familiar with the fractured relations between Pakistan and India
can understand how this sort of characterization could tarnish Daniel
Pearl's reputation in Pakistan and weaken public outrage about his
brutal killing, a goal some ISI officials might have wanted.
Kamran Khan Show
Once he had established his reputation as a sharp journalist, with a
serious demeanor to boot, Khan flew to fame with his hit show, “Kamran
Khan Show,” perhaps the only live global news broadcast springing from a
Pakistani channel, and appreciated around the world. His expert
opinion, in-depth analysis and an eye for detail has provided Geo
audiences with constant updates and insight.

innumerable letters and phone calls asking about Kamran Khan. Geo now
has Kamran Khan in a new show, “ Aaj Kamran Khan Ke Saath”, this show is
a late edition for political enthusiasts, offering them a daily news
roundup.
