VOA Kurdish correspondent narrowly misses death
On Thursday, February 16, 2017, VOA Kurdish Service stringer Kawa Omar was with another journalist in Mosul.
As the two approaches his car, the other journalists alerted him to the fact that they were being monitored, and they need to leave there immediately. They manage to run about 10 meters before a homemade ISIL drone hit the area. Kawa and the other journalists were not injured.
