Two ABC News journalists were ambushed and killed in Iraq as they were headed home from the ABC News Baghdad bureau yesterday, ABC announced.
Thirty-three-year-old cameraman Alaa Uldeen Aziz, and 26-year-old soundman Saif Laith Yousuf were in their car when they were "reportedly ambushed and they were killed by unknown assailants" after being "stopped by two cars full of gunmen," ABC's web site reported. The network's Baghdad correspondent, Terry McCarthy said, "Today we've lost two family members, and it really hurts."
One hundred and four journalists have been killed while covering the Iraq War, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists. Notably, one of ABC's anchors, Bob Woodruff, sustained serious injuries while covering Iraq in January 2006.

World News Tonight anchorman Bob Woodruff and cameraman Doug Vogt arrived in the United States last night
and are being treated at National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland. ABC says it considered moving the men to a
private hospital but decided against it since the military doctors have experience treating victims of bombings. The
picture at the right is of soldiers loading Woodruff on transport that would take him to a C-17 military plane in
Germany. You can see from all the medical instruments, his injuries are very serious. Woodruff's family reports that he
was hit in the face and brain with shrapnel when the Iraqi military vehicle he and Vogt were riding in hit a roadside
bomb just outside Baghdad, Iraq over the weekend. Vogt, on the other hand, is reportedly in much better condition. He
was laughing and making jokes while at the hospital in Germany, whereas Woodruff could barely open his eyes.
Co-anchor of World News Tonight Bob Woodruff and cameraman Doug Vogt were injured when the
vehicle they were riding in hit a roadside bomb early Sunday morning. The two apparently were standing up in a hatch,
filming a story in the vehicle as it drove along.
