| Gunmen kill Iraqi woman journalist in Mosul |
| 2008-05-05 |
| MOSUL, Iraq - Gunmen dragged a woman freelance journalist from a taxi in IraqÂ’s 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 MosulÂ’s 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. |
