The bodies of Barzan Omar Ahmad and his wife Sazane Ismail Abdullah, who also works at the Red Crescent, were discovered late Friday on a street in the Hay al-Intisar district of the main northern city of Mosul.


Hawar Fares said the murders were a "terrorist operation" carried out by gunmen, as bullets were found in the car.


Earlier Saturday, two people were wounded when a convoy carrying members of a security firm working with the US-led coalition was attacked in Mosul, an army spokesman said.


The city has been a hotbed of anti-coalition violence with near-daily attacks on US troops and their Iraqi allies.
