World: Africa Gambian journalist arrested A journalist for one of Gambia's main newspapers is under arrest, after reporting about an alleged shoot-out at the birthplace of President Jammeh. The journalist, Allieu Badara Sowe, who works for the Daily Observer, recounted reports from local people who said the Gambian army had been involved in the shooting last month. The article then demanded the government act to stop the rumours. The BBC Banjul correspondent said the Gambian armed forces chief has denied involvement in any such incident.
