August 18, 2003 Death of Journalist Killed by G.I.'s Prompts Calls for Inquiry By SARAH LYALL

LONDON, Aug. 18 - International journalists' groups and Reuters demanded today that the American military hold a full public inquiry into the death of a Reuters cameraman fatally shot by American soldiers in Iraq on Sunday as he filmed outside a prison.

The cameraman, Mazen Dana, 43, was the second Reuters journalist to be killed in Iraq since the invasion began on March 20. His colleague Taras Protsyuk, a Ukrainian usually based in Warsaw, died on April 8 when an American tank fired a shell at the Palestine Hotel in Baghdad, from which Mr. Protsyuk was filming the United States advance into the city center. -- Marta Russell Los Angeles, CA http://www.martarussell.com/ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
