Beirut, December 9, 2019 -- Iraqi authorities should conduct a thorough and transparent investigation into the abduction of journalist Zaid Mohammed al-Khafaji, secure his release, and hold the perpetrators to account, the Committee to Protect Journalists said today.

On December 6, unidentified individuals abducted al-Khafaji, a freelance photographer, from his home in Baghdad and took him to an unknown location, according to news reports. Al-Khafaji was abducted when he returned home after covering protests in Baghdad’s Tahrir Square, according to those reports.

Two others were abducted and released. Not at the same time/same place.

I'm sick of journalists thinking they are above the fray they are reporting on, and should be untouchable by both sides of a conflict.

And whenever a journalist is abducted, the media goes into full spin mode acting as if an innocent saint has been wronged. ...

There is that.
