MOGADISHU (Reuters) – A gunman shot a foreign television cameraman at a rally in Mogadishu on Friday, and witnesses said he had died on the spot.
The witnesses said the cameraman was a Swede on assignment for Channel Four television. The broadcaster said it was checking the report and had no confirmation.
The cameraman was covering a demonstration organised by Islamists who took the city from U.S.-backed warlords on June 5. Since then, various Western journalists have gone into the city, which had previously been considered too dangerous to visit.
