Sahar al-Haideri
Shooting
A journalist working with the independent Aswat al-Iraq news agency in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul was killed by gunmen, the agency said.
Sahar al-Haideri was married with three daughters, the agency said. Her body was found in the al-Hadbaa neighbourhood of northeastern Mosul.
"Unknown armed people killed her today at noon," Aswat al-Iraq (Voice of Iraq) said in a statement. Aswat al-Iraq said Haideri's name had been on a "death list" of journalists issued by the local leader of the al Qaeda-led militant group, Islamic State in Iraq.
Another Aswat al-Iraq journalist, Nazar al-Radhi, was among the journalists killed in May.
