Two photojournalists killed in Libyan city of Misrata

Two award-winning and prominent photographers have been killing after grenade attacks in Libya. Both reporters were there to write and take photos of the humanitarian status in Libya. Briton Tim Hetherington, 40, is the co-director of the Oscar-nominated war documentary Restrepo and Chris Hondros has received a Gold Medal for war photography. Both photographers were there to try to bring forward the ongoing humanitarian issues in Libya after the attack from NATO countries. Besides the two photographers, several other journalists were injured during the attack, but survived after being in surgery for hours.

Reporters being killed is always sad news, but in my eyes this inevitable. If you go out to a warzone to report on casualties and destruction, you know it comes with great risk. Yes, most of the times they (reporters in warzones) come back unharmed, but you shouldn’t go out there thinking you won’t get hurt. I think it is very brave of these men and women to go out there, in to the frontlines, to bring us the news and commend them for it, but unfortunately these kind of events will occur every now and then.

Parcel bombs sent to Neil Lennon, McBride and Godman

In the past month liquid bombs have been send to prominent Glasgow supporters and the Celtic manager. The were ment to either kill or severly injure the receiver. The bombs were amateuristicly made, this is said by sources close to the investigation. The bombs were most likely send to start a riot in between Scottland’s biggest soccer clubs. The derby always comes with problems and riots and no one would be surprised to see if the next match will result in riots after the bomb sending. The clubs will try to resolve the problem out of court.

This action really takes soccer enthousiasm and supporting a club to a whole new level. The ‘normal’ way you are supposed to support your club is to go to their matches and just have a good time and encourage your club to win. In no way was a sport ever ment to result in a club sending one another bombs to threaten them or even injure or kill them. Of course this is just an action of some lunatic trying to support his or her club in such a cold hearted way and in no way reflects the average soccer player, but it really does take clubsupporting to a whole new (and somewhat sad) level.
