Two CNN employees were killed, and a third was lightly wounded Tuesday afternoon in an ambush on the outskirts of the Iraqi capital Baghdad. The employees were returning to Baghdad in a two-car convoy from an assignment in the southern city of Hillah. According to CNN reports the vehicles were headed north toward Baghdad when a rust-colored Opel approached from behind. A single gunman with an AK-47, standing through the sunroof, opened fire on one of the vehicles. Translator and producer Duraid Isa Mohammed and driver Yasser Khatab died of multiple gunshot wounds. Cameraman Scott McWhinnie, in another vehicle, was grazed in the head by a bullet.
