Thirty-one bullets

Ali Shafeya Al-Moussawi has been killed.

This story doesn't seem to be in the MSM yet. I wonder if it will be picked up at all. Jim Long of Verge New Media weighs in with some information at Seesmic.

Ali Shafeya, a correspondent for Alive in Baghdad was shot and killed at his home by Iraqi National Guardsmen.

He took thirty-one bullets between the chest and head. Thirty-one.

I'll say that again.
Thirty-one.
