Noramfaizul Mohd Nor
Shooting
A Malaysian journalist has been killed in a shooting in the Somali capital, Mogadishu, security officials said.
Thirty-nine-year-old Noramfaizul Mohd Nor, a cameraman with Malaysia's national Bernama TV, was accompanying Putera 1Malaysia Club, who were carrying out a humanitarian mission, his employer said in a statement.
Initial reports say African Union peacekeepers opened fire on his vehicle. Another reporter was wounded in the incident. Muhideen Mohamed, who works with the charity, said troops from Amisom - the AU peacekeeping force which was patrolling the city - fired on the journalists as they travelled to the airport, where they were based.
