Three Iraqi journalists found killed near Samarra

The bodies of three Iraqi journalists, including a well-known correspondent for Al Arabiya television, were found today near Samarra, police and the Arabic network said.

Al Arabiya’s Atwar Bahjat and two colleagues from another media company were in the city 60 miles north of Baghdad to cover yesterday’s bombing of a revered Shiite shrine. Their employers lost contact with them last night.
