"Al-Haydari said her name was fourth on a death list comprised of journalists and police officers. ... According to Aswat al-Iraq, the list was issued by the 'Emir of the Islamic State in Mosul'."
Another female journalist recently killed by jihadists. "Iraqi journalist who endured abductions, threats is slain in Mosul," from the Committee to Protect Journalists:
New York, June 7, 2007—An Iraqi journalist who had been abducted, shot and threatened with death was slain in Mosul today by unidentified gunmen who answered her cell phone after the killing and told the caller "she went to hell."
[...]
Al-Haydari visited CPJ's offices in New York in late 2005, and CPJ helped relocate her husband and four children to Damascus, Syria, after she received death threats.
Al-Haydari was shopping in Mosul's Al-Hadbaa neighborhood when four unidentified gunmen got out of their vehicle, gunned her down and fled the scene, taking her cell phone with them, local journalists told CPJ.
Earlier, she had been reporting news of a suicide attack on a police station in the nearby town of Al-Rabiya, NINA said. When a police captain called to give her more information, the killers answered her phone, telling him, "She went to hell," according to a local journalist who spoke with the captain.
Al-Haydari had previously told CPJ that she had received many death threats. Early last year, she was twice targeted for abduction; one attempt failed, and she was rescued the other time. In March 2006, al-Haydari told CPJ she had been shot, requiring surgery. In August 2006, gunmen killed her daughter's fiancé.
In her final e-mail to CPJ, on March 22, al-Haydari said her name was fourth on a death list comprised of journalists and police officers. It had been circulated throughout Mosul and posted on her house door. According to Aswat al-Iraq, the list was issued by the "Emir of the Islamic State in Mosul," the local leader of the al-Qaeda- affiliated Islamic State in Iraq.
Sadly there is a plethora of male scumbuckets in islam.
Will the Western male and female drivebys and their editors actually find courage and report atrocities such as this ?
May she rest in peace. Condolences to her family.

...Will the western male and female drivebys and their editors actually realize that the Muslims do not like them either and that it is only a matter of time before the Muslims come looking for them?...
I love how jihadi murders surround themselves with pious quotes and grandiose titles like ""Emir of the Islamic State in Mosul."
They are simply following the rightly guided and the 'model of human behavior' who incidentally re-branded himself 'the praised one' or Mohammed as we know him. Mohammed was not born with that name... if I remember correctly his original name was Kotham or something along those lines.
Apparently, the "winning the hearts and minds" of jihadists is proving to be a supremely difficult task to accomplish.
Such brave, brave men! I can hardly wait to don my hijab, niqab, and burqa! Maybe I'll find a spot as the fourth wife of one of them--the honor!
Attacking women in threes and fours. I wonder how many of them it would take to bring down a deer in hunting season. A dozen, maybe?
Too bad their targets weren't fellow Muslims. These fine brave men would spend the rest of thier lives, waiting for a retaliatory blow.
Nah, what am I saying? It was only another woman, after all.
Well, it's time for me to go build some Hellfire stacks (the "eyeball" of the missile). We're working overtime to crank them out, just lately.

When exactly did Assyrians ever take care of Muslims - be they Arab or Kurd - since 636AD? I'm not saying that they did anything wrong, but since the Arab conquest, did they ever have the opportunity to punish them?
Abscedere,
You build Hellfire stacks ( the "eyeball" of the missle ) and you've been working overtime to crank them out? ..... why.....THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition!
islam was invented by a cowardy man and is followed by cowardly men. how do you explain that it took four muslim men with guns to kill one women without any weapon, islam the religion for cowards.
I am greatly saddened by this.
