Libyan radio station owner shot dead

The owner of a Libyan radio station that broadcasts exclusively in English and plays Western music was found dead in his car, his body riddled with bullets.
 
Tripoli FM, which touts itself as Libya’s number one radio station, went off air temporarily to mourn the death of Radwan Ghariani, (picture) head of programmes.
 
It was not immediately clear who killed Ghariani or for what reason but the murder comes amid a spike in violence in Libya as it struggles to rein in militias made up of former rebels who toppled long-ruling dictator Moamer Kadhafi in 2011.
 
The station offers Western music, as well as news and cultural programmes and is among dozens of private broadcasters in Libya.
 
Ghariani, who was in his 40s, is the father of four daughters and it seems had not received any death threats prior to his murder.
