(Mosul, Iraq) Following up on a previous report, the body of Raiedah Mohammed Wageh Wazan was found dumped into the street in Mosul and identified by her husband, Salim Saad-Allah.
Raiedah Mohammed Wageh Wazan
Four bullets to the head killed her and, although it's suspected that she was targeted by Al-Qaeda for working as an anchor for the U.S.-funded Nineveh TV, there has been no confirmation on who kidnapped and killed her.
It was also reported that her 10-year-old son and her cameraman were kidnapped with her, but no information on their whereabouts has been released.
Chad Evans at In The Bullpen is also following this story. It's also worthy of reiterating that the MSM is paying scant attention to the reports about a female Iraqi broadcast journalist being kidnapped and murdered. I'm convinced that if Wazan had been anti-American as opposed to pro-American, the NYT, WAPO, LATimes, BBC, and AFP would be all over this story.
