Baghdad: A television presenter working for a local station was killed by a “sticky bomb” in Salaheddin province of central Iraq, media reported on Tuesday.
According to reports Kamiran Salaheddin, a presenter for Salaheddin Channel, was killed in central Tikrit by a magnetic bomb attached to his car as he drove home from work late on Monday.
Salaheddin, a 34-year-old father-of-two, was the second journalist killed in Iraq this year, according to the Journalistic Freedoms Observatory, an Iraq-based media rights group.
Salaheddin Channel was established by American forces in 2004 and is funded by Salaheddin provincial council.
“The Iraqi authorities must do everything possible to ensure that those responsible for his death are brought to justice,” Paris-based watchdog Reporters Without Borders (RSF) said in a statement condemning the attack.
