Two gunmen shot dead Hilal al-Ahmadi, 50 and a father of four, as he left his home in Mithaq, an eastern district of Mosul, a police captain said, asking not to be named.
Ahmadi worked for two local weeklies, Mosul Echo and Iraqiyoun.
According to Iraq`s Journalistic Observatory, more than 250 journalists and media workers have been killed in the country since the 2003 US-led invasion.(*)
