From the Telegraph, with thanks to Sebastien and Twostellas:
A BBC producer has died after being shot in the Somalia capital Mogadishu yesterday just weeks after an Islamic cleric reportedly issued a fatwa against westerners entering one of the world’s most lawless cities.
Kate Peyton, 39, a producer in the BBC’s Johannesburg bureau, had just arrived in Somalia to make a series of reports about the country when she was hit at least once in the back by a shot from a pistol as she left her hotel.
