| British reporter killed in Sulaimaniya |
| 2003-03-30 |
| A British reporter was killed here on Sunday in what seems to be an attempted murder. If he was killed, then it wasn't "attempted"... Eyewitnesses told IRNA that the correspondent, working for the British television news network ITN, had fallen from the window of his room in Sarchenar Hotel in Sulaimaniya and had died immediately. The Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK), who are in charge of the security of foreign reporters in Iraq's Kurdistan, has yet to comment on the incident. The ITN correspondent is the second foreign reporter killed in thearea so far after the death last week of an ABC cameraman, Paul Moran. |
