Sad news
A European Pressphoto Agency (EPA) photographer who was critically injured while covering the protests in Tunisia has been declared clinically dead, though his heart is still beating, according to an agency source.

Lucas Mebrouk Dolega, 32, is understood to have been struck by a police teargas canister on Friday afternoon following the ousting of Tunisian President Ben Ali. Clicky Linky more info

Always a shame but, there is always a risk when covering what amounts to a "civil war".

Been lots of confusion in the press and with AP as to this news over the last 24hrs or so. Sad news, and worrying with the circumstances (point blank, fired by a police officer.)
