The stark reality of the threat to the lives of journalists in Pakistan was highlighted by Declan Walsh in yesterday's Media Guardian with his report about the country being the deadliest place to be a journalist.
As if on cue, it was published as news came through of two further media fatalities - Asfandyar Khan and Shafiullah Khan died in a double bombing in Peshawar.
After a bomb went off in a supermarket, they rushed with several colleagues to cover the story and were caught in a second blast. Asfandyar worked for Akhbar-e-Khyber and Shafiullah for The News International.
Five other journalists were injured in the blasts, though their injuries were relatively minor.
