Two CBS Crew Members Killed, One Wounded in Iraq Blast

CBS News said in a statement posted on its Web site that a crew of three embedded with the United States army’s 4th Infantry Division patrolling in Baghdad came under attack Monday. Cameraman, Paul Douglas and soundman, James Brolan were killed by a car bomb while correspondent Kimberly Dozier was critically injured. The bomb also killed an Iraqi contractor and an American soldier. Six soldiers were injured.

NYT:

By some reckonings, the deaths firmly secured the Iraq war as the deadliest conflict for reporters in modern times.
