TV Host Murdered in Benghazi

(Benghazi, Libya)
A Libyan doctor who hosted a television programme on human development was shot dead by unknown gunmen in the restive eastern city of Benghazi on Friday, a security official said.

Azzedine Koussos, a presenter for Libya Al-Hurra television, was hit by several rounds as he sat in his parked car near a blood bank in Benghazi's Sidi Hussein district after weekly Muslim prayers, the source said.

Koussos had worked for Radio al-Manara FM before joining Al-Hurra, the country's leading private TV channel, created after the 2011 revolution that overthrew long-time dictator Moamer Kadhafi.

His programme had no political connotations, journalists in Benghazi said.
Despite being a doctor and respected sheikh, Reporters Without Borders believe Koussos' role as a journalist led to his murder.
