The assassination of a radio host in southwest Colombia triggered international condemnation on Saturday.
Javier Cordoba of local radio station Planeta Estereo was shot dead while he was hosting his show on Friday in Tumaco, a port city in the troubled Nariño province
The homicide followed weeks after far-right group Aguilas Negras issued a threat against journalists in general and declared nine journalists a “military objective.”
Cordoba is the second radio host to be murdered in Nariño this year and the fourth media worker killed in Colombia this year.
