| Two Western journalists shot in Saudi Arabia |
| 2004-06-06 |
| From AP: An Irish cameraman working for the British Broadcasting Corp. was killed and a British reporter injured in a shooting Sunday in the Saudi capital, just hours after the foreign minister said the kingdom was doing "everything we can" to protect citizens and residents. The BBC identified the dead man as Simon Cumbers, 36, and the injured man as BBC security correspondent Frank Gardner, 42. British Foreign Secretary Jack Straw condemned the attack on the two journalists and pledged that Britain "will continue to do all we can to support the Saudi authorities in their fight against terrorism." |

| #7 Here's my try at the BBC newscast (actually Reuters would be more likely) on the subject: Two "reporters" die in "attack". |
