Two Iraqi journalists among 33 dead in Baghdad suicide attack

By JERUSALEM POST STAFF
An Iraqi television station said two of its journalists were among the more than 30 people killed in a suicide attack west of Baghdad. The director of the Cairo-based Baghdadiya TV said both the cameraman and correspondent covering a reconciliation meeting Tuesday in the town of Abu Ghraib were killed when the bomber struck. The station's Baghdad-based producer Raad al-Saidi identified the two as cameraman Haider Hashim, 27, and correspondent Souhaib Adnan, 30. Last December, the New York-based Committee to Protect Journalists says Iraq remains the deadliest country for journalists. Eleven journalists were killed in Iraq in 2008, down from 32 in both 2006 and 2007.
