Honduras: Killing of TV journalist spawns protest http://www.ejc.net/media_news/honduras_killing_of_tv_journalist_spawns_protest

Dozens of journalists took to the streets Monday in northern Honduras to protest attacks on their colleagues after gunmen killed a television journalist in a hail of bullets — the third such slaying in two weeks. Nahum Palacios, director of a TV station in Tocoa near the Caribbean coast,

was shot to death Sunday night as he drove home and was intercepted by two other vehicles, said Leonel Sauceda, a spokesman for the federal police. It was unclear whether the killing of the 36-year-old was related to his work as a journalist. The car in which Palacios traveled was pocked with 42 bullet holes. A woman also in the vehicle was treated at a hospital and a cameraman was unharmed.
