Mr Wild, who had arrived from London just two weeks ago, was killed by a gunman on a street corner. The unknown attacker fired a single bullet into his head at close range as Mr Wild was apparently on his way to research a story on Iraq s vandalised natural history museum, said Michael Burke, an independent British TV producer who identified his body in a hospital mortuary. The killer fled into the crowd and was not caught.
