Gunmen shot and killed a young journalist at his home in Iraq in front of his family on Sunday, according to an interior ministry official.
Mazin al-Baghdadi was employed as an anchor and reporter for al-Mousiliyya TV in Iraq's northern city of Mosul.
The official said the gunmen told his father they were intelligence officers.
His killing is the sixth of a journalist in Iraq this year, according to the International Press Institute's figures. Four Iraqi journalists were killed in the whole of 2009.
IPI press freedom manager Anthony Mills said: "Iraq is one of the most dangerous countries in the world for journalists, and the killers continue to operate with impunity."
