The error region of the INTEGRAL source, IGR J17448-3232, contains an X-raypoint source at the edge of a ~3' radius extended X-ray source. It has beensuggested that the extended emission is a young supernovae remnant (SNR) whilethe point source may be an isolated neutron star, associated with the SNR, thatreceived a kick when the supernova occurred. We identify the infraredcounterpart of the X-ray point source, visible from 2.2 to 24 microns, andplace limits on the flux at longer wavelengths by comparison with radiocatalogues. Multi-wavelength spectral modeling shows that the data areconsistent with a reddened and absorbed single power law over five orders ofmagnitude in frequency. This implies non-thermal, possibly synchrotron emissionthat renders the previous identification of this source as a possible pulsar,and its association to the SNR, unlikely; we instead propose that the emissionmay be due to a blazar viewed through the plane of the Galaxy.
