Two Iraqi journalists have been killed in separate incidents in Baghdad, police said Tuesday. They are among scores of Iraqi media workers slain here since the U.S.-led invasion of 2003. Mohammed Abbas Hamad, 28, a journalist for the newspaper Al-Bayinnah Al-Jadida, was shot by gunmen at he left his home Monday in the Adil section of west Baghdad, police Lt. Mohammed Khayoun said. Late Monday, police found the bullet-riddled body of freelance journalist Ismail Amin Ali, 30, about a kilometer (half mile) from where he was abducted two weeks ago in northeast Baghdad, Lt. Ahmed Mohammed Ali said. The body showed sign of torture, Ali said. The freelancer worked for several Iraqi newspapers, police was quoted as saying by the Associated Press.
