Two Somali radio journalists were killed within hours of each other Saturday in this violent capital, and colleagues said they believe the men were assassinated.
Mahad Ahmed Elmi, 30, was shot by two men with pistols as he went to his office at HornAfrik Media Company early Saturday, witnesses said. Ali Iman Sharmarke, HornAfrik's owner, was killed by a land mine as he returned from Elmi's burial, said another company official, Farah Berey.
Update
Both men had come to Canada as refugees in the early 1990s. Sharmarke held Canadian citizenship.
