Video: final footage of Reuters journalist killed in Gaza
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/middle_east/article3764160.ece
Fadel Shana was killed on Wednesday as he filmed an Israeli tank dug in about a kilometer (1,000 yards) away. A medical examination and X-rays showed several 3 cm (inch) -long spikes, known as flechettes, in the 23 year old’s body.
The last few seconds of video shot on Shana’s tripod-mounted camera show the tank firing, then a mid-air explosion consistent with the burst of a missile. The camera was shattered in the explosion that killed Shana. Black metal darts were embedded in his body armor, which bore a fluorescent strip reading “PRESS”.
Shana’s soundman, Wafa Abu Mizyed, was wounded in the arm and two teenage bystanders were also killed in the incident. A Reuters car carrying “TV” and “Press” markings was destroyed.
