## Who was she?

She was a mother of five and was studying international relations and diplomacy at [Somali International University](/en/institutions/private-universities-in-mogadishu/) (same source).

## Her husband

Her husband, Liban Ali Nur, was also a journalist; he was killed in 2012 in a suicide bombing at a restaurant in Mogadishu ([Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hindia_Haji_Mohamed)). Wikipedia notes that they were among the few married couples worldwide both killed as journalists (same source).

## Death

On 3 December 2015, aged 27, she was killed when a bomb planted under her car seat went off outside the Turkish Embassy in Mogadishu as she drove home from university ([Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hindia_Haji_Mohamed)). [Al-Shabaab](/en/history/al-shabaab/) claimed the attack; two men were later executed by firing squad and four others received prison terms (same source). She was the 38th journalist killed in Somalia since 2010, and UNESCO's Director-General Irina Bokova condemned the killing (same source). See [Media in Somalia](/en/society/media-in-somalia/).
