It was yet another assassination of an educated Shia. Qazilbash’s family, friends, and a number of Shias called it a purely sectarian killing. But the media once again went into an overdrive trying to hide all facts, even informed conjectures, about it. For instance, all major Urdu newspapers—Jang, Dunia, News Express, and Nawa-e-Waqt—blacked it out. Thus, to the readers of these newspapers, no one—let alone a Shia—was killed because it was not reported to them. Pakistan’s major English language newspapers—excluding Express Tribune—reported the killing, but they denied that it was a sectarian/Shia killing. lubpak/archives/302205
