| An Iraqi journalist working for a Kuwait-owned satellite channel was shot by an unidentified sniper while on his way to work, an Iraq-based watchdog said on Saturday. “The Iraqi reporter, Adnan Al-Safi, 40, who worked for Al-Anwar space channel, died on Friday morning after he was shot by a sniper in the head on Wednesday,” a statement from the Journalistic Freedoms Observatory said. Safi died from nerve damage more than 24 hours after the incident, which took place in the Otaifiyah area of northern Baghdad, one of his relatives told the organisation. |
