Report: At Least 70 Journalists Killed in 2013 
-----------------------------------------------


 
A new report by the Committee to Project Journalists says at least 70
journalists died on the job in 2013. At least 29 journalists died
covering the civil war in Syria. Another 10 were killed in Iraq. Egypt
was the third most violent country for journalists with six killed for
their work last year. The report came as four Al Jazeera journalists
were interrogated by Egyptian prosecutors following their arrest Sunday
evening. Cameraperson Mohamed Fawzy has been released, but the three
others remain in custody.
