NAIROBI, Kenya - The U.N. food agency says Somali gunmen have shot and killed one of its drivers in southern Somalia.
The World Food Program says Ahmed Saalim is the fourth agency employee to be killed this year in Somalia.
The agency said Wednesday that Saalim was in a convoy carrying 664 US tons (602 metric tons) of relief food to the Bay and Bakool regions when he was caught in a gunfight at a checkpoint Monday.
Some 2.4 million Somalis rely on food aid, but aid workers increasingly face attacks like those that have killed the four World Food Program workers.
Gunmen also shot and killed the head of the U.N. development program on Sunday. The head of Somalia's U.N. refugee agency was kidnapped last month.
