A TV journalist covering the battle to retake Mosul from occupying
ISIS fighters was killed by a roadside bomb Saturday, Rudaw TV said.
Shifa Gardi, 30, was killed and her cameraman was injured, the Kurdish media organization said in a statement.
It's the first recorded killing of a journalist in Iraq in 2017, the
Committee to Protect Journalists said; at least six were killed in the
country last year.
"Shifa Gardi was one of Rudaw's most daring
journalists," Rudaw Media Network said. "She was known as a renowned
skilled journalist in Kurdish news media, and brought outstanding
coverage to Rudaw TV right from the beginning of its establishment."
