-- MOSUL, Iraq, May 4 (Reuters) -- Gunmen shot dead an Iraqi reporter on Sunday after hauling her out of a taxi in Mosul, a notoriously violent city in northern Iraq where journalists are often targeted and live in fear of their lives.

Police said Serwa Abdul-Wahab, in her mid-30s, was on her way to work when gunmen forced her out of a taxi in east Mosul, 390 km (240 miles) north of Baghdad, and shot her in the head.
