Female TV presenter among 20 killed in Iraq

Female TV presenter among 20 killed in Iraq - Middle East - Al Jazeera English:
"The presenter's death takes the number of journalists killed in Iraq since October to six and she is the fifth journalist killed in the northern city during the same period. 
The mostly-Sunni Arab city is one of the most dangerous areas in Iraq, with fighters frequently carrying out attacks and reportedly extorting money from shopkeepers.
Also in Mosul, a roadside bomb missed an army patrol but killed two civilians and wounded four, authorities said.
In the town of Sadiyah, 95 kilometres north of Baghdad, police said gunmen killed a Health Ministry employee and his family early on Sunday.
Police said the attackers used guns fitted with silencers and broke into the man's home and killed him, his wife, two sons and their 10-year old daughter as they slept."
