Iraq -- The coach of Iraq's national karate team was shot and killed by gunmen in Mosul on Friday, according to nytimes.com. Police and sports officials said 45-year-old Izzat Abdullah was shot to death near his house in Mosul, in northern Iraq.
Iraqi sports figures have frequently been kidnapped and killed, many of them during the height of sectarian slayings in 2006.
Insurgents reportedly remain active in Mosul, although the attacks have been less frequent over the past couple of years.
