April 03, 2012

The Sticky Bomb is back in the news. It was recently in the news, when it was used during the car bombing of the Israeli diplomat in New Delhi.

Today, a sticky bomb killed an Iraqi television presenter working for a local TV station in Salaheddin province in central Iraq. Kamiran Salaheddin, a presenter for Salaheddin Channel, was killed in central Tikrit by a magnetic "sticky bomb" attached to his car, as he drove home from work. 

Salaheddin, 34, and father-of-two was the second journalist killed in Iraq this year, according to the Journalistic Freedoms Observatory, an Iraq-based media rights group.
