Earlier today we reported that an assailant tried to assassinate the editor-in-chief of Turkey’s Cumhuriyet newspaper Can Dündar, before the court was to announce the verdict on his case.
The paper had published reports implicating the Turkish government in having links with extremists. The gunman shouted “traitor” before firing at least three shots at the journalist. Dundar was not injured in the incident but a journalist was reportedly shot in the crossfire.
The incident was captured in the following dramatic video.
