Mogadishu: A Malaysian TV station says one of its journalists has been shot dead in the Somali capital. A statement on Bernama's website says 41-year-old Noramfaizul Mohd Nor was killed on Friday in Mogadishu as he accompanied the aid agency Putera Malasyai Club on a humanitarian mission.

A Somali official says the man was shot as he was traveling in a car near a busy junction known as Kilometer Four.

The official asked not to be named because he was not authorised to speak to the press. The circumstances of the shooting were unclear.
