Media worker killed in western Iraq: employer
[Iraq Sun] A technician with an Iraqi satellite channel was killed on Saturday and a journalist maimed as they covered operations against the Islamic State...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... group in western Iraq, their employer said. Both worked for Al Ahad TV, a channel affiliated with Asaib Ahl al-Haq, one of the most powerful Shi'ite militias in Iraq's Hashed al-Shaabi paramilitary umbrella. The pair were hit by mortar fire in Jazirat al-Khaldiyeh in the western province of Anbar. "Our TV team came under mortar fire in Jazirat al-Khaldiyeh as they were covering the battle," Raida al-Ogaily, head of public relations at Al-Ahad said. "Broadcast technician Ali Ghani was killed and the correspondent, Hussein al-Fares, was maimed," she said. The area where the incident occurred lies between quiet provincial capital Ramadi and Fallujah, ... the City of Mosques, which might have somthing to do with why it's not called Center of Prosperityor a really nice place to raise your kids... both of which have been retaken from the jihadists by security forces.
