The one-day suspension of publication was called by the Syndicate of Iraqi Journalists, which condemned the March 22 killing of RFE/RL's Radio Free Iraq (RFI) Baghdad bureau chief Mohammed Bdaiwi Obaid Al-Shammari as a "heinous crime." Al-Shammari was shot dead at the gate of the residence of President Jalal Talabani in Baghdad's Jadriyah neighborhood.
