[Al Ahram] Two gunnies rubbed out a technician employed at Somalia's state-run broadcaster Radio Mogadishu on Saturday, the sixth media professional killed in the country this year, officials and a colleague said."Two men armed with pistols shot Ahmed Sharif and escaped the scene. He was rushed to hospital, but he died instantly," said colleague Mohamed Sacid.
Sharif was bumped off near his home in the capital Mogadishu just hours after Somalia publicly executed the only person to be convicted to date of killing a journalist in the country.
