The bodies of journalists missing on the eve of Iraq were found today near Baakuba


It was possible to find and identify the bodies of the dead almost a day after the tragedy. Responsibility for undermining the car, in which the journalists moved, was taken over by the militants of the so-called "Islamic State". It must be recalled that responsibility for the terrorist attacks in Baghdad (hostage-taking in a shopping center) was also taken by the fighters DAISH (IG). At the same time, no statements on the network of Daesh (IG) regarding responsibility for today's terrorist act in the center of Istanbul (Turkey) will not be published.

In these countries, over the past year and a half, more than 15 journalists from various media have died.

          Well done Syrians, maintaining a sense of humor in a similar situation costs a lot.

    Being a journalist on the battlefield is no less dangerous than attacking, but only Ukraine specifically directs its artillery on them.

      Being a journalist on the battlefield is no less dangerous than going on the attack.

      And even more scary than going on the attack and being a journalist is when a journalist is "attached" to you so that you drag him for 2-3 days. "Lucky" a couple of times ... You are not afraid for yourself, you are sure of your boys. But with a journalist ... crying The guys, as a rule, are hot, they climb with their cameras where the dog ... will not stick. So you jump, around him as you did not jump around your children. Experience in combat - at best - urgent service in communications near Ufa ... But I did not see the bastards among them - good guys, correct. Most of them obey - say "sit" - sit, say "run" - run. And they quickly got used to the orders and special rules of our etiquette. laughing

    Truly work, they don’t even know whether they will live to see the evening or not. The reports are worth the price of life.
