Ali Abu Shish, an Iraqi photographer working for Reuters new agency was shot in the leg during fighting in the holy city of Najaf, journalists in the agency's Baghdad bureau said.
He was shot during a firefight between U.S. forces and fighters loyal to radical Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr, journalists said on condition of anonymity.
The wounds were not life-threatening and the photographer was being treated at a U.S. Army combat hospital, the journalists said. The journalist was taking pictures with an American military unit at the time. It was not known who fired the shot that wounded him.
