| 2013-08-10 |
| [An Nahar] A Libyan doctor who hosted a television program on human development was rubbed out by unknown gunnies in the restive eastern city of Benghazi on Friday, a security official said. Azzedine Koussos, a presenter for Libya Al-Hurra television, was hit by several rounds as he sat in his parked car near a blood bank in Benghazi's Sidi Hussein district after weekly Mohammedan prayers, the source said. Koussos had worked for Radio al-Manara FM before joining Al-Hurra, the country's leading private TV channel, created after the 2011 revolution that overthrew long-time dictator Muammar Qadaffy ...a reminder that a single man with an idea can change an entire nation, usually for the worse... His program had no political connotations, journalists in Benghazi said. |
