IPS Remembers Alaa Hassan: Our Eyes and Ears on the Streets of Baghdad

   It
is with deep sorrow that IPS announces the death of Alaa Hassan,
who contributed to several IPS reports from Iraq. Alaa Hassan
was fired on by gunmen on the way to work. It appears to be
nothing personal - he was just in the wrong place at the wrong
time, part of the senseless violence engulfing Iraq.
