Somalia ? Two prominent Somali journalists were assassinated Saturday, one outside his office and the other as he returned from his fallen colleague’s funeral, authorities said.

The victims were Ali Iman Sharmarke, owner of the HornAfrik Media Company, and Mahad Ahmed Elmi, who hosts a popular radio talk show for the same company.

HornAfrik’s broadcasts have criticized both the government and the Islamic militants who have been trying to topple the administration through a bloody insurgency.
