Two Iraqi journalists working for ABC News in Baghdad have been killed in an ambush as they drove home from work.
The network says the attack took place yesterday afternoon, when unknown assailants attacked the car carrying a cameraman (Alaa Uldeen Aziz) and a soundman (Saif Laith Yousuf) from the network's Baghdad bureau.
Journalists have been frequently targeted by violence in Iraq.
The New York-based Committee to Protect Journalists has recorded 102 journalists and 39 media support workers killed and 48 journalists abducted since the 2003 U-S-led invasion of Iraq.
Those numbers do not include those killed in the latest attack.
Last week, three journalists were killed, along with their driver, in a drive-by shooting near the northern city of Kirkuk.
Gunmen also stormed the offices of the independent Radio Dijla in a predominantly Sunni area in western Baghdad earlier this month, killing two employees and wounding five.
