My brother, David Montero, is a journalist who has done numerous stories for Frontline/World. A little bit about his next segment:
In “A Death in Swat,” reporter David Montero investigates the mysterious murder of Musa Khan Khel, a Pakistani journalist who covered the army’s failed campaign against the Taliban in the Swat Valley and was killed not long after a peace deal was negotiated-with speculation pointing as much to the intelligence services, as to the Taliban, for responsibility.
Musa’s reporting generated a growing sense of outrage that the war in Swat was not going well. … People are still dying, and the Taliban are growing stronger,” Montero says. “For someone you know to have been killed, to end up dead in a field, it just shows you how hard this story is getting to report.” While the investigation into Musa’s death continues, Montero finds Musa’s younger brother has taken his place, reporting the latest chapter of the army’s anti-Taliban campaign in Swat for Pakistani TV.
