A journalist was shot dead by unidentified men on Monday in northwest Pakistan, police said.
Noor-ul Hassan, who was working for a news agency and a private news channel, was shot dead by two motorcycle-borne gunmen who opened fire on his car in Peshawar's Sarband, they said.
He died on the spot while his cameraman sustained critical injuries.
Police officials believe it was a "target killing".
No group has claimed responsibility for the attack.
The Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Union of Journalists condemned the attack.
Five journalists have been killed in the restive province this year.
