Journalists call for inquiry over Iraq deaths

The International Federation of Journalists has called for an immediate inquiry following what it believes are "targeted attacks" on journalists in Iraq this week.

Three journalists have been killed in Iraq in the past two days. In a statement, the IFJ called two of the deaths "assassinations", while the circumstances surrounding the death of the third are unclear.

On Monday night, Iraqi journalist Abdul Wahab Abdul Razeq Ahmad al-Qaisie was found dead, 10 days after he was abducted by masked militiamen in the New Baghdad district of the capital, said the IFJ's Iraqi syndicate.

On Tuesday, the body of Adel Najee al-Mansouri, a reporter for Iranian TV channel al-Alam, was discovered a day after armed men took him from his house in the al-Amiriyah district of Baghdad, the IFJ said.

A third journalist, Riyad Atto, the editor of a newspaper in Talafar, was also dead.
