MOGADISHU, Somalia (CNN) -- A senior U.N. official in Somalia was gunned down Sunday night as he exited a mosque after evening prayers, according to a journalist on the scene.
Osman Ali Ahmed, head of the U.N. development program in the war-torn capital of Mogadishu, was shot at about 7:50 p.m. and died from his wounds at an African Union-run hospital near Mogadishu airport, said the Shabelle Media Network journalist, whose name was withheld for security reasons.
