Ali Hassan Al Jaber
Crossfire
An Al Jazeera employee has been killed in Libya, the first media casualty since fighting began in the country's month-long uprising.
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 a car he and his colleagues were travelling in. Two people including Al Jaber were shot. Al Jaber was rushed to hospital, but did not survive.
