'Foreign enemy' blamed for journalist's death
The Islamic militia that has seized control of Somalia’s capital said today the killing of a Swedish journalist was planned by a foreign enemy that wants to shatter weeks of relative peace in the Horn of Africa nation.
Martin Adler, 47, was killed instantly with a single gunshot to his back during a Friday rally in Mogadishu, where anger at foreigners runs high. His body arrived in Nairobi, Kenya, today aboard a Red Cross plane before returning to Sweden.
