Journalist killed on camera-(Cheering Bradley crowd meets 7.62mm)
Herald Sun ^ | 13sep04 | Journalist killed on camera

Posted on 09/12/2004 3:55:33 PM PDT by Flavius

A PALESTINIAN television journalist was killed today as he was giving a live report to camera on deadly clashes between US forces and insurgents in the heart of the Iraqi capital.

Residents of his home town in the West Bank watched in horror as Mazen al-Tomaisi, who worked for Saudi television Akhbariya and for the pan-Arab satellite channel Al-Arabiya, went down.

Mr Tomaisi, 28, was killed when a US helicopter fired missiles on a mob which had gathered round a US tank in Baghdad that had been set ablaze in a car bomb attack, one of a string of bombings across the capital today.

Blood spattered across the cameraman's lens and screams were heard by viewers of the Al-Arabiya report.

Mr Tomaisi, from the West Bank town of Idna, is the fourth Palestinian journalist killed in Iraq.

An Iraqi cameraman and an Iraqi photographer were also slightly wounded by flying shrapnel during the attack.

An Iraqi official later said a total of 13 people were killed, including two children, and 55 were wounded during the battle in Haifa Street, a suspected bastion of Saddam Hussein loyalists, where insurgents and US troops clash regularly.

The US military said four soldiers were also wounded.

Sorry to be a bother, but I can't get the file to play. Neither Windows Media, nor Quicktime recognizes the file type. Suggestions, please.

Very technically accurate and not very politically correct...I like it.

I rather liked it myself. Thanks.

I think we should just let them strip all the munitions and weapons, and, hey, maybe a corpse out to play with and mutilate - instead of whacking a bunch of enemy cheerleaders in a combat zone being opportunistic to ultimately harm my soldiers and embolden my enemy.../XXXsarcasm

Sad but true and very effective. They're all at weddings and funerals all the time anyway it appears...

After all the rotten propaganda press that the United States has gotten from al-Jazerra, and Saudi television Akhbariya and Al-Arabiya, I could care less about them. So when one of their's get shot up, I have little or no sympathy. The Muslim media is as bad as the terrorists that they support, and deserve no special treatment

Now that's a merger that I wouldn't doubt. CBS has always been a left-wing-liberal company. Listening to them talk, their neutral. Well BS. Didn't Dan Rather screw up the Florida election in 2000, by calling Florida for Gore, and the polls weren't closed yet in the Panhandle?

Yup. Add-in the radio islamocommies all under the Viacom umbrella. Both allJizz and Communist Broadcasting Schaudenfraude seemingly read out of the same playbook...

It would more believable, if you told me that all of the foreign Muslim media merged with the DNC. With Terry McAwfull as their CEO, and "Hanoi John and "Chappy Kennedy" or "Hitlery" as vice chairs.

(shudder)

Did you come up with that? Yikes. That's the natural extension of Harkin and his Communistrate trying to kick Limbaugh off of Armed Forces Radio and advance the 'fairness bullcrap', whatever they call it...

There is only ONE language Islam understands. And we gave it to them - LOUD AND CLEAR.

Muslims love to gloat over fresh kill. We're getting the picture. The gloating isn't as fun for them as it used to be.
