MOGADISHU, Somalia — Gunmen in southern Somalia fatally shot a local journalist who had been a contributor to various news organizations, including The Associated Press and the British Broadcasting Corp., his wife and a doctor said Saturday.
Nasteex Dahir Farah, 26, was shot several times in the chest in the southern port city of Kismayo, said Dr. Mohamed Aden Dheel of Kismayo Hospital. He died at the hospital, Dheel said.
Somalia, which has been mired in chaos and violence since 1991, is among the most dangerous countries in the world for journalists. At least nine other journalists have been killed in Somalia since February 2007, according to Amnesty International.
