Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Gunmen killed an Iraqi politician who had won a seat in parliament for the Iraqiya coalition headed by the former Prime Minister Iyad Allawi, in the restive northern city of Mosul yesterday, police said.
Bashar al-Hamid was wounded in the chest in the attack in front of his home and died a short time later. Hamid's driver also was wounded. "We heard the sound of shooting then we came out. We found them lying on the ground and chaos surrounded the area," said Ali Hassan, a neighbour. Iraqi and US forces cordoned off the area to search for the gunmen and a suspect was arrested, police said.
