Omar Kamal
Shooting
An Iraqi translator working for the U.S.-based newsweekly Time died after sustaining multiple gunshot wounds in Baghdad two days earlier.
Omar Kamal, who also worked as a fixer for the magazine, was shot and critically wounded driving his car on route to an assignment, said Time news director Howard Chua-Eoan. The circumstances of the shooting were unclear, but a number of Iraqis working for Time have received threats from a variety of sources.
