On November 8, a Bermudian aid worker, Colin Lee, was brutally gunned down in front of his pregnant Paraguayan wife Hedwig Lee while on missionary work in Sudan. Mr. Lee told his family weeks before he died there was a $25,000 bounty on his head. Mr. Lee and his wife were ambushed and robbed by about 20 suspected rebels as they drove through Sudan to help war victims. He was shot in the heart and throat but was not instantly killed. He died six agonising hours later, although his wife is believed to have survived the nightmare ordeal by lying on the floor of the car. Reports say Mrs. Lee, 35, heroically stayed by her wounded husband's side and begged the rebels not to set the vehicle ablaze and burn them alive. Relatives said the brave wife, who was four months pregnant at the time, then virtually carried her husband for a long distance before he was able to get medical help.

On November 9, Hott 107.5 FM's programme director Thaao Dill told The Royal Gazette that he disagreed with Government's new policy which would force radio stations to play a ten per cent quota of Bermudian music. Mr. Dill said that this meant playing two hours a day of local music which would not fit into the style of music he incorporates into his show. He said if this quota system was fully enforced it would "compromise the sound" of its modern urban playlist. This features R&B and rap stars like R Kelly and 50 Cent, with no room left for traditional Bermudian calypso and reggae beats.

On November 15 Court Street businessman Clinton Mohammad told The Royal Gazette that he refused to be frightened away after drug dealers daubed slogans on his building in a bid to intimidate him after Saturday's anti-drugs rally.
