Libya Private Radio Owner Shot Dead
[An Nahar] The owner of a Libyan radio station that broadcasts exclusively in English and plays Western music was found dead in his car, his body riddled with bullets, the broadcaster said on Monday.Tripoli ...a confusing city, one end of which is located in Lebanon and the other end of which is the capital of Libya. Its chief distinction is being mentioned in the Marine Hymn... FM, which touts itself as Libya's number one radio station, went off air temporarily to mourn the death of Radwan Ghariani, head of programs Rabii Dahan said. It was not immediately clear who killed Ghariani or for what reason but the murder comes amid a spike in violence in Libya as it struggles to rein in militias made up of former rebels who toppled long-ruling strongman Muammar Qadaffy ...Proof that a madman with money will be politely received for at least 42 years until his people get tired of him and kill him... in 2011. Dahan said Ghariani's body was found in his car by a police patrol on Sunday night in the capital's eastern suburb of Ghot al-Roman. "He was killed by four bullets. We don't yet know the reasons for this liquidation but it is clear that robbery was not a motive," he said. The radio offers Western music, as well as news and cultural programs and is among dozens of private broadcasters in Libya. Ghariani, who was in his 40s, is the father of four daughters and had not received any death threats prior to his murder, Dahan said. Posted by: Fred 2013-12-03 |
