    BAGHDAD, Feb. 25 (Xinhuanet) -- Gunmen attacked people who were taking the body of killed Al-Arabiya female journalist Atwar Bahjat to cemetery in west of Baghdad on Saturday, a journalist with them told Xinhua.

    "We were attacked before we reached the Al-Karh cemetery in west of Baghdad," he said.

    The casualties were not immediately known.

    Bahjat, a famous female Iraqi television journalist working for the Dubai-based Al-Arabiya television, was killed with two members of her crew on Wednesday when they were on the way to cover the Shiite holy shrine blast in Samarra, some 120 km north of Baghdad. Enditem
