The chief editor of a local newspaper in the northwestern
Turkish city of Bandirma has been shot dead after death
threats were made against him over his coverage of a
corruption scandal.
The 53-year-old editor-in-chief of the daily Life in
Southern Marmara, Cihan Hayirsevener, was walking to the
newspaper's office shortly after 3 p.m. (1300 GMT) on Friday
when he was shot in the leg three times by an unidentified
assailant, the Anatolia news agency reported.
The gunman escaped in a car and his whereabouts are unknown.
One of the bullets ruptured a vital artery in Hayirsevener's
leg, causing him to lose an excessive amount of blood. His
heart stopped several times in the ambulance to Bandirma
State Hospital, but emergency medical staff were able to
revive him.
He was later moved to the Uludag University Medical Faculty
in Bursa, where doctors struggled but ultimately failed to
save his life.
The police have launched an investigation to apprehend the
murderer.

A government, of Israel, by Israel, and, for: Israel.
But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light:
for whatsoever doth make manifest is light. The light shineth in darkness;
and the darkness comprehended it not. The light of the body is the eye:
if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.
But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness.
If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!
Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead,
and Christ shall give thee light. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
