Other non-natural
Militants in Iraq announced they had killed abducted Italian journalist Enzo Baldoni, 56, of the Milan weekly magazine Diario, according to Al-Jazeera, which said it had footage of his body.
A group calling itself the Islamic Army in Iraq said it had killed Baldoni after Italy refused to withdraw its troops. Italy's prime minister described the reported killing as an "act of barbarity".
