An Iraqi journalist working with The New York Times in Baghdad was shot dead on Friday, the newspaper's Baghdad bureau chief said in a statement.

Khalid W. Hassan, 23, was shot dead while on his way to work Friday in the capital's southern Saidiyah neighbourhood, John F. Burns said.

"The circumstances of the attack remain unclear at this time," Burns said.

"Khalid, who was 23 years old, was a resourceful and brave member of our news team, who met the many professional and personal challenges of his four years on our staff with enduring good humour and optimism."
