Turkish-Armenian editor shot dead in Istanbul

By Paul de Bendern and Thomas Grove, Reuters:

A high-profile Turkish-Armenian editor, convicted of insulting

Turkey's identity, was shot dead outside his newspaper office in

Istanbul on Friday.

Hrant Dink, a frequent target of nationalist anger for his comments

on the mass killings of Armenians by Ottoman Turks during World War

One, was shot as he left his weekly Agos around 1300 GMT in central

Istanbul.
