Hundreds of Pakistani journalists on Thursday took out protest marches across NWFP to condemn killing of a television reporter in Swat and said that killings of scribes in the troubled region is an attempt to scare them away from the restive region, but said they would not be cowed down.

Shouting that journalists are becoming victims in the war-on-terror, they demanded that the killing of Musa Khankhel on Wednesday be investigated and those responsible brought to justice.
