Two More Iraqi Journalists Killed

HeadlineJun 25, 2007

In the city of Mosul, an Iraqi journalist was killed on Sunday as the country marked Iraqi Journalists Day — a day set aside to acknowledge the media workers killed during the war. Zeena Shakir Mahmoud was shot to death on her way home from work. She was a Sunni Arab but wrote about women’s affairs for a Kurdish newspaper. Earlier today another Iraqi journalist, Rahim al-Maliki, died in a suicide bombing that killed 12 people. Al-Maliki was an anchor on Iraqiya state television. According to Reporters Without Borders, 184 journalists and media assistants have been killed since the U.S. invasion.
