TIMELINE: Journalists killed in Iraq

(Reuters) - The editor of a Baghdad weekly newspaper was murdered at the weekend, Iraq's Journalistic Freedoms Observatory said on Tuesday.

Iraq is the most dangerous place in the world to report. At least 122 journalists and 41 media support staff have been killed in Iraq since the U.S.-led invasion in 2003, the New-York based Committee to Protect Journalists says. About 85 percent of those killed were Iraqis.

Following is a chronology of those reported killed in the past three months:

July 11 - Gunmen shoot dead a translator who worked for Reuters near the Diyala bridge in Baghdad, an area known to be rife with Shi'ite and Sunni militants.

July 16 - Sports reporter Majeed Mohammed and writer/researcher Mustafa Gaimayani are among 85 people killed when a blast hit the offices of the Hawal Media Institute in Kirkuk.

Sept 20 - Muhannad Ghanem Ahmed, of radio Dar Al Salam, is killed in the northern city of Mosul.

Sept 23 - Gunmen kill Jawad al-Daami, a journalist for Baghdadiya television, in al-Qadissiya district of southwestern Baghdad.

Oct 14 - Salih Saif Aldin, a Washington Post correspondent in Iraq, is killed in the Baghdad neighborhood of Sadiyah. He is the first Post reporter to be killed during the Iraq war.
