Sabih Katta or Sabeeh Qati

From the news reports:

In a somber beginning to the New Year, a convoy of ambulances drove through western Baghdad with their sirens silent with one bearing the body of an ambulance driver killed Friday by a stray bullet.

Sabih Katta was on Baghdad's infamous Haifa street picking up Iraqis wounded in a shoot-out when he was shot, his mourning colleagues told AFP Saturday.

He had already whisked three wounded children to safety and had returned to the perilous street to pick up more when he was killed.
