A Pakistani commission investigating the unsolved murder of a journalist last year has said that the country's notorious intelligence service needs to be more "law-abiding."
The report released Friday by a government-appointed judicial commission says the inquiry did not find enough evidence to name any perpetrators in the death of Saleem Shahzad, who was killed after he told friends he had been threatened by Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence agency.
However, the commission does call on Pakistan's intelligence agencies to be made more accountable to the government through internal reviews and oversight by parliament. It also says agencies' interactions with reporters should be closely monitored.
