British Journalist Shot Dead in Baghdad
46 minutes ago

BAGHDAD, Iraq - A British journalist was shot and killed outside the Iraqi National Museum in Baghdad on Saturday, witnesses said.



The identity of the journalist, a freelance television producer, was not immediately known. Fellow journalists, asking that their names not be used, said the male journalist was outside the museum when he was shot.

Ambushes, shootings and other attacks, blamed on loyalists of Saddam Hussein (news - web sites), have plagued American soldiers in Iraq (news - web sites) in recent weeks — but so far there has been no sign of journalists being explicitly targeted. An American soldier guarding the museum was shot and killed by a sniper on Thursday.

The British Foreign Office contacted in London confirmed that a man had been shot but said details were still sketchy.

"We are urgently investigating reports of a British freelance journalist being shot today in Baghdad," a spokesman said.

The foreign office was trying to identify the body of a man thought to be in his mid-20s, at which stage next of kin will be informed."

The death brings to 16 the number of journalists killed in Iraq since the start of the war on March 20.

"What Bush in effect is saying to the world: take our worthless dollars or we'll nuke you"

He has been president for less than two years. He certainly has not put troops in 65 countries in that time. Our problems started a long time ago and have not been caused by any one man or for that matter any one party.
