2012-01-30
[Daily Nation (Kenya)] Mr Hassan Osman Abdi alias Fantastic, 30, the Chief Editor of Shabelle Radio, a popular independent broadcaster in Mogadishu, was killed Sunday evening in the Somali capital.

Two terrorists men armed with pistols attacked the journalist in front of his residence in South Mogadishu. The editor was rushed to Radio Shabelle Headquarters where he died afterwards.
How about taking him to a hospital?
Hassan was stopped by two terrorists men as he was entering his gate who then shot him several times, said Mohamed Moalim, a relative who stayed in the area.

"We don't know who they are but the shot him mercilessly in the head and shoulders", he said.

The dear departed leaves behind a widow and three children.

Hassan is the third Shabelle editor to be assassinated in Mogadishu since 2007.
