Somali journalist shot dead: police
Several gunmen shot dead a Somali journalist near Mogadishu, police said yesterday, in the latest attack on press. Freelance journalist Abdiweli Ali Hassan, was killed yesterday in the town of Afgoye, some 30 kilometres from the capital. The journalist contributed to the London-based Somali channel Universal TV and the Mogadishu-based Kulmiye Radio Station. The murder comes just days after Amnesty International said in a report that journalists in Somalia are "under siege", facing bombings, beatings, attacks and arrests.
