BAGHDAD, Iraq - A driver and a translator-producer working for CNN were shot and killed Tuesday by unidentified assailants outside Baghdad, the network said.

CNN said in a news broadcast that the pair was returning from an assignment in southern Iraq in a two-car convoy that came under attack in the outskirts of the capital.

It identified the two men as translator-producer Dureid Issa Mohammed and driver Yasser Khateeb.

A CNN cameraman in the second car was grazed in the head by a bullet but was safe, the network said. It said correspondent Michael Holmes was also in the car along with several other people but none of them was hurt.

It gave no other details.

Oh, they were not Americans, they were only Iraqi's, so CNN does not care.
