Orel Zambrano, editor of the Venezuelan political weekly ABC, has been murdered. The 62-year-old journalist was shot dead in the street by the pillion-rider on a motorcyle in Valencia, in the state of Carabobo.
Zambrano, who was also vice-president of Radio América 890 AM and a columnist for the regional daily Notitarde, had recently covered several drug trafficking cases. His killing came just three days after the attempted murder of Rafael Finol, a journalist with the daily El Regional. (Via Reporters without Borders)
