Ghazala Javed was called and it was the most popular singer of Pakistan Pashtuns.They killed yesterday in Peshawar, with six shots, from a team of four men on motorcycles. The claim is not there yet, but the track is more likely that the Taliban. Who had threatened several times. For the simple reason that he sang, against the precepts of the Koran and Sharia law. Ghazala had fled his village in Swat Valley, now under the control of militants in order to continue his career. But it was not enough. They reached the big city where he achieved success and warm. Police confirm "that was reached by six shots straight out of a beauty salon." The first investigations were focused on the track, however, familiar with ex-husband as prime suspect. But a cousin of the girl, Wajid Omer, who plays the harmonica in Peshawar, said that "she was killed by unknown persons. It was four on two motorbikes. They also shot the father, who was with her. I think they were religious fanatics.
