#Islamic_State militants kill two #Iraq journalists Two #Iraqi journalists have been killed by Islamic State (#IS) in the past four days, Reporters Without Borders says. Mohanad #al_Akidi, the correspondent for the Sada news agency was shot dead at the #Ghazlani base on Monday. #Akidi was abducted in July while he travelled to #Dohuk province. On Friday Raad Mohamed al_Azzawi, a cameraman for Sama Salah Aldeen TV, was beheaded by IS militants in the city of Samarra. He had been held for a month. Reporters Without Borders, which promotes and defends world media freedom, said it was horrified by the jihadist groups constant crimes of violence. Islamic State is pursuing a policy of indiscriminate criminal violence that shows no pity towards journalists and does not hesitate to kidnap, torture and murder them, said its programme director, Lucie Morillon. Media personnel need the support and protection of the local authorities more than ever, she added. #BBC L.K #Al_Elam
