Sept 22 (Reuters) - A journalist from Iraq's Radio Nineveh was gunned down on Wednesday night in Mosul, 390 km (240 miles) north of Baghdad.

More than 40 foreign and Iraqi journalists have been reported killed since the U.S.-led invasion in March 2003.

The real number is believed to be higher and the list does not include the many translators, drivers and other media assistants said by media watchdogs to have died since the start of the conflict.

Following is a chronology of those reported killed in 2005:

- Feb 9, 2005 - Abdul-Hussein Khazal, Basra correspondent of U.S.-funded television station Alhurra, is shot and killed.

- March 14 - Gunmen kill Hussam Habib, an Iraqi cameraman working for Kurdistan Satellite TV. He had been kidnapped 12 hours before he was killed in Mosul.

- April 23 - AP Television News cameraman Saleh Ibrahim dies in Mosul after being shot three times in the chest when gunfire breaks out while he is reporting on an explosion.
