BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Gunmen killed an Iraqi journalist working for a U.S.-funded television network in Basra and seized a senior Interior Ministry official in Baghdad on Wednesday in the latest attacks following the historic Jan. 30 election.


Police in Basra, 340 miles southeast of Baghdad, said Alhurra correspondent Abdul-Hussein Khazal was shot dead at his home in the mainly Shi'ite city. Alhurra is a Virginia-based satellite news network set up with U.S. funding to compete with Arabic channels like Al Jazeera and Al Arabiya.


Alhurra said one of Khazal's sons was also killed in the attack. He was three years old.


In Baghdad, gunmen dragged a senior government official from his car in the south of the capital. The Interior Ministry said Colonel Riyadh Katei Aliwi worked in its operations department.
