Karam Hussein
Shooting
An Iraqi photographer working for the European Press photo Agency was shot dead by gunmen outside his home in the northern city of Mosul, friends and his employer said.
Karam Hussein, 22, who formerly contributed photos to The Associated Press, was leaving his home when a group of unidentified gunmen opened fire with semiautomatic weapons.
The motive for the killing was unclear but many Iraqis working for foreign news organisations have been killed and threatened in recent months.
