TV Comedian among 22 killed in Iraq
By THOMAS WAGNER
ASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER
BAGHDAD, Iraq -- Gunmen shot and killed a television comedian Monday who was famous for mocking everyone from the Iraqi government to U.S. forces to Shiite militias to Sunni insurgents.
Walid Hassan's slaying came as the Iraqi death toll rose to more than 1,300 for the first 20 days of November - the highest for any month since The Associated Press began tracking the figure in April 2005.

Not to make light of the tragedy, it was an Iraqi comedian so most Americans would not be familiar with his name. Some of the other answers have the links to the news stories if you want to read further.
