Pakistan's government has imposed a travel ban on a leading journalist after he sparked an uproar by reporting that civilian officials had clashed with the military over its covert support for militants.
Cyril Almeida, an assistant editor at Dawn, the country's oldest and most prestigious English daily, announced early Tuesday he had been placed on the "Exit Control List".
The report published on Friday prompted threats on social media and was denied three times by the office of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif.
"I am told and have been informed and have been shown evidence that I am on the Exit Control List," he tweeted, followed a short time later by "I feel sad tonight. This is my life, my country. What went wrong."
I feel sad tonight. This is my life, my country. What went wrong.

"Ur very famous in the airport. Ur name plastered at each immigration officer's desk. A big A4 sheet with just your name." - 'sources' sayIn his report, Almeida said leading civilian officials had warned the powerful army to renounce covert support for proxy fighters such as the Haqqani network allied to the Afghan Taleban and Lashkar-e-Taiba, blamed for the 2008 Mumbai attacks - or face isolation.
