The Wife of an Iraqi journalist shot dead at a Baghdad checkpoint for a "trivial reason" burst into tears when faced with his alleged killer in court on Monday. Rafaa Jaafar demanded his killer receive a "fair punishment", speaking at the opening of the trial of an Iraqi Kurdish ******r charged with murdering her husband Mohammed Bidaiwi. Other witnesses recounted how an argument at the checkpoint had quickly escalated before the accused, Lieutenant Ahmed Braiyim, allegedly opened fire. Bidaiwi, Baghdad bureau chief of Radio Free Iraq, was on his way to work on March 22 near the presidential complex on the edge of the heavily-fortified Green Zone when he was shot dead during a heated argument.
