Plus Complete List of Journalist Deaths in Iraq



LOS ANGELES -- (AP) Mark Fineman, an award-winning correspondent for the Los Angeles Times, died Tuesday while on assignment in Iraq of an apparent heart attack. He was 51.

Fineman was waiting with a colleague in the offices of the Iraqi Governing Council for an interview when he complained of chest pains and collapsed, Times staffers in Baghdad said. He was taken to a hospital but doctors could not revive him.

Fineman, whose story about Iraq's new foreign investment policy appeared on the front page of Tuesday's Times, worked at the paper for 15 years.
