Any comments how to accommodate this into the bio? This needs to be trimmed and well sourced. --Saqib (talk) 10:16, 4 March 2017 (UTC)Reply
The Nation published a front page article ("Journalists as spies in FATA?"[1]) on 5 November 2009, accusing the South Asian correspondent of The Wall Street Journal, Matthew Rosenberg, of working for the CIA, Israeli intelligence, and the U.S. military contractor Blackwater. Wall Street Journal managing editor Robert James Thomson wrote to Mazari[2] soon after the Rosenberg article appeared. Wall Street Journal’s Daniel Pearl, kidnapped and killed in 2002, was labelled a Jewish spy in a similar manner by some sections of Pakistani media. Twenty-one international news editors from Islamabad’s foreign correspondent community also signed a letter[3] of protest, criticizing the unsubstantiated article for compromising Matt Rosenberg's security.
In a television interview regarding the incident, Mazari strongly defended her story. On 20 November 2009, "The Nation" published yet another front page story[4] with a photograph of what it described as "Mysterious US nationals". "According to a source in another investigation agency, the foreigners seemingly belonged to the US spy agency CIA. It was evident from the fact that two police commandos were escorting them, the source added. "However, it turned out that this "Mysterious US National" was in fact the Australian photojournalist Daniel Berehulak, working for Getty Images. Hugh Pinney, Getty’s senior director of photography, wrote[5] to Shireen Mazari on 21 November 2009. Both Rosenberg and Berahulak have left Pakistan.[6]
