BAGHDAD: A technician with an Iraqi satellite channel was killed on Saturday and a journalist wounded as they covered operations against the Islamic State group in western Iraq, their employer said. Both worked for Al Ahad TV, a channel affiliated with Asaib Ahl al-Haq, one of the most powerful militias in Iraq’s Hashed al-Shaabi paramilitary umbrella.
The pair were hit by mortar fire in Jazirat al-Khaldiyeh in the western province of Anbar.
"Our TV team came under mortar fire in Jazirat al-Khaldiyeh as they were covering the battle," Raida al-Ogaily, head of public relations at Al-Ahad, told AFP.
"Broadcast technician Ali Ghani was killed and the correspondent, Hussein al-Fares, was wounded," she said.
The area where the incident occurred lies between provincial capital Ramadi and Fallujah, both of which have been retaken from the jihadists by security forces.
