National Union of Somali Journalists (NUSO)
Omar Faruk Osman narrowly survived
assassination attempt in Mogadishu drive-by-
shooting today Tuesday, December 29. According
to media reports, Faruk was entering (NUSO)
office at Teleh area in Mogadishu when unknown
gunmen in a minivan blocked his way and
sprayed bullets into his car.
At least three people--a bodyguard and two
pedestrians were wounded in the attack.
The assassination attempt comes a day after
Faruk denounced a controversial media law
passed by the Somali parliament on Monday. The
media law drawn by the government's ministry of
information targeted a section of the press which
the (NUSO) boss believes is a threat to media
freedom in Somalia and called on the Somali
president not to sign the controversial bill.
