11 Killed By Militiamen At Iraqi TV Station...
Suspected Shiite militiamen, some dressed as police, broke into a television station and gunned down 11 Iraqi executives, producers and other staffers Thursday -- the deadliest attack against the media in this country, where at least 81 other journalists have been killed in the past three years.
The station, Shaabiya, was new and had not started full broadcasting. So far it had aired only test programming of nationalist songs, including ones against the U.S. military presence in
Iraq. That may have led Shiite militiamen to suspect it of a pro-Sunni ideology.
