First Attack on a Journalist since the Croatian War

Ivo Pukanic, owner of Croatian newspaper Nacional, and Niko Franjić, the marketing manager, were killed in a car explosion in the Croatian capital, Zagreb, on Oct. 23, 2008. Two secretaries who were working for the same newspaper were injured too. The car-bomb has been fitted on Pukanic’s car. The 47-year-old was one of the most well-known and most disputed journalists in Croatia too.
