Member LoginWar on Iraq - ABC Cameraman Killed
An Australian cameraman on assignment for the ABC has been killed in a suicide bombing in Iraq.
Paul Moran died instantly when the car exploded at Sayed Sadiq in Northern Iraq.
ABC correspondent Eric Campbell survived the attack, suffering minor shrapnel injuries and shock.
He has described events leading up to the bombing.
"Paul was getting one last shot of some peshmergas who were running towards the base and he walked about 50 metres in front of me to get this shot, and a taxi just screamed up beside him and exploded and, we were thrown back, and Paul was dead," he said.
Mr Moran, 39, who was originally from Adelaide, worked extensively in the Middle East from his base in Bahrain, before moving to Paris last year.
Mr Moran is survived by his wife and baby daughter.
Nine other people were injured in the bombing.
