Iraqi journalist Firas Mohammed Attiyah was killed by a roadside bomb in Anbar province on Monday (20 January). He had been reporting on clashes for the local Fallujah TV station.
The bomb exploded as Attiyah accompanied a government patrol to a ceremony in the city of Khalidiya. Muayad Ibrahim, a journalist for Anbar TV, was also wounded in the incident.
Fallujah TV, which was founded in part to counter al-Qaida's influence in the city, posted on Facebook a picture of the Attiyah's body draped in an Iraqi flag.
