Wali is the second Aljazeera crew member killed covering Iraq war
An Aljazeera television worker, Rashid Hamid Wali, has been killed while filming clashes in the flashpoint Iraqi city of Karbala.
The assistant was shot dead in the early hours of Friday morning, reported Aljazeera.
Wali, 44, was standing next to the Aljazeera cameraman who was filming fierce clashes between US occupation forces and followers of Shia leader Muqtada al-Sadr from the fourth floor of the hotel where the crew is staying, reported journalist Abd al-Adhim Muhammad.
"He looked up to try to locate the place of the US military vehicles, but he was shot in the head by machine guns," said Muhammad. He died instantly.
There was a power cut followed by a heavy exchange of fire as US vehicles rumbled by, he said.
"We could not confirm the source of the fire but it was directly pointed at us," said Muhammad. Another nine civilians were killed in the fighting.
Anger
Wali, or Abu Nur as he was known, was the father of six children.
As news spread that Wali was killed, the Aljazeera Baghdad bureau was flooded with calls from journalists based in the war-torn city offering condolences, reported correspondent Yusuf al-Shuli.
There is also fury among journalists, he added.
Iraq-based journalists said they regarded his death as not only a loss for Aljazeera but for the entire media corp in Iraq, said al-Shuli.
A somber procesession including distraught employees, relatives, Arab and foreign journalists converged at the Aljazeera bureau where Wali was brought before being taken to his home where family members would say goodbye.
Members of the Iraqi Journalists Union were also present.
"The United States has become the number one fascist and terrorist country in the world," said Abd Allah al-Lami, a member of the union.
As many as 27 other journalists have been killed in Iraq since the start of the war in March 2003, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ).
Aljazeera reporter Tariq Ayoub was also killed in Iraq when a US missile slammed into the television's Baghdad bureau.
While the occupation says Aljazeera was caught in crossfire, the media organisation points out that it had given US military officials the bureau's exact coordinates prior to the war.
