Network cameraman shot dead in Benghazi.
An Al Jazeera cameraman has been killed in what appears to have been an ambush near the rebel-held city of Benghazi, Libya. Ali Hassan Al Jaber was returning to Benghazi from a nearby town after filing a report from an opposition protest when unknown fighters opened fire on the three-member team. Two people including Al Jaber were shot. Al Jaber was rushed to hospital, but it was too late. Wadah Khanfar, the director-general of Al Jazeera, says the network "will not remain silent" and will pursue those behind the ambush through legal channels. He says that the killing came after "an unprecedented campaign" against the network by Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi. | ||
