Controversial Editor Killed by Gunmen

Gunmen killed the editor of a conservative daily in Podgorica, Montenegro, witnesses and an investigative judge said. The assailants used an automatic rifle to shoot Dusko Jovanovic, editor in chief of the Dan newspaper, in the chest and head as he entered his car in front of his office. The gunmen fled.

The Dan paper has been embroiled in libel lawsuits. Jovanovic was indicted last year by the U.N. war crimes tribunal in The Hague for revealing the identity of a protected witness at the court. The U.N. charges were recently dropped.
