Journalist killed for refusing to help ISIS
(oh, wait -- He was just an Iraqi journalist so understandably, nobody gave a shit 
)
Samarra (Iraq) (AFP) - Islamic State militants executed an Iraqi news cameraman and 12 other people on Friday in several towns and villages north of Baghdad, officials, relatives and witnesses said.
The jihadists shot dead Raad al-Azzawi, a 37-year-old cameraman for local news channel Sama Salaheddin, his brother and two other civilians in the village of Samra, east of the city of Tikrit, relatives of the journalist said.
"IS executed him, his brother and two other people in public today," one relative said, speaking on condition of anonymity for fear of retribution from the jihadist organisation.
According to the media watchdog Reporters Without Borders (RSF), the father of three was detained by IS on September 7.
"They came to his home and took him and his brother," the relative said. "He did nothing wrong, his only crime was to be a cameraman, he was just doing his job."
"There must have been some people in the village who accused him of working for the government and tipped him off the jihadists... He always had his camera with him," he said.
According to an RSF statement issued last month, the Islamic State group had threatened to execute Azzawi on the grounds that he had refused to work for them.
