Chebotayev died Sunday May 6th when a bomb exploded under the U.S. Stryker troop carrier he was traveling in as it moved down a road in this insurgent-plagued city northeast of Baghdad, killing him along with six American soldiers. He was 29.
Chebotayev is the first Russian journalist known to have died in Iraq. At least 101 journalists have been killed here since the U.S.-led invasion in 2003, according to the New York-based Committee to Protect Journalists.
Dmitry’s close friends have decided to create a website and a book for his work and therefore they decided to collect a donation in order to make this happen.
