In 2004, an army hit squad in The Gambia drew up in front of Deyda Hydara, an AFP correspondent, and gunned him down.
The killing was one of the most infamous atrocities committed under the tiny West African state s then despotic president, Yahya Jammeh, who ruled with an iron fist for 22 years.
An editor of the independent newspaper The Point as well as an AFP correspondent, Hydara had been driving two colleagues home from a party at the paper s offices on the night of December 16.
