ABC電視臺兩伊拉克籍記者遇襲被殺 (Two Iraqi Journalists from ABC Killed in Baghdad Ambush)

美國電視網美國廣播公司ABC說，該電視臺巴格達分社的兩名伊拉克籍記者遭到伏擊后喪生。這家電視臺說，巴格達身分不明的槍手星期四傍晚在攝影師阿齊茲和錄音師尤素夫下班回家途中襲擊了他們的車輛。

美國廣播公司駐巴格達記者麥卡錫贊揚了伊拉克攝制組成員的勇敢精神和所做出的貢獻。他說，失去這兩名記者“令人痛心”。記者權利組織報告說， 自從伊拉克戰爭2003年開始以來，已經有100多名記者被打死，其中大部份是伊拉克人。

The U.S. television network ABC says two Iraqi journalists from its Baghdad bureau have been ambushed and killed. The network says unknown gunmen in Baghdad attacked the vehicle carrying cameraman Alaa Uldeen Aziz and soundman Saif Laith Yousuf as they were returning home from work late Thursday.

ABC's Baghdad correspondent Terry McCarthy praised the bravery and contributions of Iraqi camera crews, and he said the loss of the two journalists "hurt." Press rights groups report that more than 100 journalists, mostly Iraqis, have been killed since the war began in 2003.
