We were doing our job and completed the last interview in this spot (Benghazi) at 4pm local time. Then we moved towards the city of Salloug which is 40km south west Benghazi. There was a demonstration led by grandchildren of Omar Al Mukhtar stating that they were still with the Libyan Revolution, and debunking the claim that they were with the Gaddafi Regime.
On our way back to Benghazi, we were surprised with heavy gunfire. Three bullets hit the cameraman Ali Hassan Al Jabir in the back, one went through his pure heart. I was next to him, my body was next to his in the car. We tried to revive him, but by the time we reached the hospital, he had passed away.
A fourth bullet hit another crew member Nassir Al Haddar clipping him on the top of the ear and went through the car window. The type of bullet used is the “penetrating and explosive” type.
