Khaled Sabih Al Attar
Shooting
The head of Al-Iraqiyah told Agence-France Presse that Attar was kidnapped "shortly before Friday prayers in the north of the city and his body was found a few hours later on an empty lot on the west side."
He had been shot to death. Aged 43, he worked for a satirical programme called "I don't give damn" which made fun of the carelessness of staff in government offices. Al-Iraqiyah's headquarters has been the target of several attacks.
