Somalia: Journalist Killed by Planted Car Bomb 
-----------------------------------------------


 
In Somalia, a journalist was killed when a bomb planted under the seat
of her car exploded Thursday. Hindia Haji Mohamed was a producer and
reporter for the state-run media outlets Radio Mogadishu and Somali
National TV. The Committee to Protect Journalists say she is the 25th
journalist in Somalia to be killed for their work in the past five
years. No one took responsibility for the bombing, but the committee
says journalists for state-run media outlets are often targeted by
militants. Her late husband, journalist Liban Ali Nur, also worked for
Radio Mogadishu and Somali National TV before he was murdered in 2012.
