Al Jazeera cameraman Ali Hassan Al-Jaber has been killed in an ambush near Benghazi reportedly by Gaddafi forces


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.
