Re: Journalist Shot by U.S. Troops in Iraq Mourned

That was tragic! BBC writer Ahmed Omed Khpulwak, 25, died together with at least eighteen other individuals during a July war in Afghanistan. NATO confessed Thurs that the reporter was really murdered by a US soldier who mistook him for a suicide bomber. Check this out: NATO admits BBC journalist was accidentally killed by US soldier. Indeed, the loss of Ahmed Omed is a tragedy for his family and friends as well as his colleagues at the BBC. Ahmed Omed’s death further highlights the great dangers facing journalists who put their lives on the line to provide vital news from around the world. It is essential that journalists are given the best possible protection whilst reporting in dangerous situations so that the world can hear their stories. Tweet
