On July 8, 2009, late at night, around 60 persons, claiming themselves as Taliban, attacked the house of a Journalist, Mr. Rahman Bunaireeri, at Poland, Buner district, North West Frontier Province (NWFP). In the said area, the Pakistan army has been conducting operations against the Taliban since the last two months. Members of the Taliban planted dynamite around the house and blew up the house in the presence of his family. In the next twenty minutes after the blast, they remained in the area and informed Brunairee’s family that they had followed orders from high ranking leadership of Taliban movement to blow up the house. Furthermore, they threatened that if Mr. Rahman Bunairee, the journalist working for Voice of America, Pushto bulletin, and also bureau chief of Khyber television channel at Karachi, capital of Sindh province, does not stop the malicious propaganda against the Taliban then the entire family will be assassinated and used as a lesson for the entire journalistic community.
