Mujeebur Rehman, who works for Reuters news agency, was wounded in the hand during the attack from a passing taxicab near the town of Wana, local officials said. Rehman managed to evade the attackers and reach tribal police.

In February this year two journalists were killed and an AFP stringer was wounded when gunmen sprayed their van with bullets from a passing car in South Waziristan.
