From the BBC:

Journalists and relatives have called for a probe into the murder of a prominent television reporter in the Mexican resort of Acapulco.

Amado Ramirez, a correspondent for TV news network Televisa, was shot dead on Friday as he left a radio station.

Security officials said two gunmen were waiting for him as he neared his car.

In recent months, Acapulco has been hit by a wave of violence believed linked to the drug trade and control of key coastal smuggling routes.

From the BBC:

A Sunni insurgent group in Iraq has called on Osama Bin Laden to exert more control over al-Qaeda members there.

Members of al-Qaeda in Iraq were killing insurgents from other groups which did not support their ideals, said the Islamic Army of Iraq.

In its statement, it called on al-Qaeda to review its behaviour in the country.

Imagine: Killing those who don't support your ideals. Bad al Qaeda in Iraq, bad!! :)

Ajmal Naqshbandi worked as a guide for visiting reporters

The Taleban in Afghanistan say they have killed an Afghan reporter abducted last month with an Italian journalist.

The group said it had killed Ajmal Naqshbandi as the government had refused to meet their demands to release senior figures from prison.

The Italian reporter, Daniele Mastrogiacomo, was released after five Taleban members were freed in exchange.

The two reporters and their driver, who was earlier beheaded, were captured on 6 March in Helmand province.

Shohaabuddin Atal, a spokesman for Taleban commander Mullah Dadullah, said: "We killed Ajmal today because the government did not respond to our demands."

According to the article, Afghanistan's President Hamid Karzai said Friday that his government would conduct no further hostage swaps. There was outrage at the time among Afghans that the government didn't obtain Naqshbandi's release at the same time it got Mastrogiacomo back.

The Taleban are still holding five government medics and two French aid workers along with three Afghan colleagues.

Their fate will be decided next, they say.
