Gunmen shot dead a Somali journalist in the northern town of Lasanod,
the latest of a string of murders targeting reporters and taking the
toll of those killed this year to 16, colleagues said Wednesday.
Ahmed Farah Ilyas, who was working with the London-based independent
Universal television station, was shot several times late Tuesday in the
disputed town.
“He was heading home in Lasanod when three men armed with hand guns shot
him several times, he died instantly and the gunmen escaped,” said
colleague Feysal Jama.
