Diplomat assaults PowNews-reporter

PowNews-reporter Danny Ghosen was assaulted Wednesday afternoon, by the ambassador of Angola and three of his colleagues, announced PowNed director, Dominique Weessie. Reporters are used to some pushing and shoving, but Ghosen was definitely assaulted, stated Weessie. The reporter wanted to create an item about the government budget, in which he wanted to address, among other things, the issue of diplomats violating parking rules without being penalized, because of their diplomatic immunity. Before the debate Ghosen drove along Lange Poten, the mecca of diplomats and illegal parking. Danny_Ghosen

Ghosen was taken to the hospital a loose tooth, a bloody face, and pain in his jaw. He is shaken by the incident. He filed a report with the police, but doubts it will matter, because of the immunity of diplomats . Multiple cameras recorded the incident. The director compared the images with pictures of the Angolan ambassador and could positively ID him. The other three involved in the brutal attack were the ambassador's wife and his two employees. The Hague Police are investigating whether Ghosen was actually abused by Angolan diplomats . The reporter turned in raw footage of the incident when he filed the police report, confirmed a police spokesperson. The images of street cameras are also secured for the investigation.
