Reuters cameraman films his own death
Reuters footage released on Wednesday shows the final moments of agency cameraman Fadel Shana as he films an IDF tank firing, moments before apparently being hit by the shell. Subsequent footage shows the Reuters jeep on fire, and Shana's body lying next to it. Shana's jeep was marked "press" and witnesses said the cameraman was wearing an identifying flak jacket.
Reuters Editor-in-Chief David Schlesinger has called for an investigation of Wednesday's incident.
Why don't you come over Mr Schlesinger, and stand right in front of me? Yours cordially, the Tank.
Paleos occasionally use cameramen as spotters. Mayhaps Fadel was just a cameraman in the wrong place. Mayhaps not. |
