Gunmen kill Iraqi woman journalist in Mosul
MOSUL, Iraq - Gunmen dragged a woman freelance journalist from a taxi in Iraqs northern restive city of Mosul on Sunday and killed her in broad daylight, a local police officer told AFP.
Tharwat Abdul-Wahab, 30, was on her way to work when a group of gunmen pulled her out of the vehicle and shot her in the head in eastern Mosuls Al-Baqar neighbourhood, the policeman said on condition of anonymity.
Mosul, one of the most dangerous cities in the country, has seen a number of local journalists killed since the US-led invasion in 2003.
