两名战地记者在周三交火中身亡
曾经亲临达尔富尔,阿富汗,波斯尼亚等地的赫瑟林顿这次又来到利比亚,他也是近期唯一一位在叛军阵中跟踪报道的战地摄影师。在本周三的一场交火中,赫瑟林顿与另外一名资深记者克里斯-洪多拉斯(Chris Hondros)遭遇火箭弹袭击身亡,另有两名记者受伤。
蒂姆-赫瑟林顿出生于英国利物浦,牛津大学毕业后毅然投身战地报道事业,他曾于2007年获得世界新闻展年度大奖,2007年拍摄的纪录片《雷斯特雷波》则获得了奥斯卡的肯定并在圣丹斯电影节获得评审团大奖。当时赫瑟林顿与另外一名记者塞巴斯蒂安-荣格尔(Sebastian Junger)一起深入阿富汗,跟随并拍摄一队美军士兵的战地生活。这部纪录片将观众带到真实的战场中去,体验那种痛苦,残酷而真实的战地生活。这部影片并没有任何说教成分,而是站在一个纯粹而客观的角度去报道一场战争。

In his last tweet from embattled Eastern Libya on Tuesday, Hetherington, a contributing photographer for Vanity Fair magazine, writes: "In besieged Libyan city of Misrata. Indiscriminate shelling by Qaddafi forces. No sign of NATO."
The Washington Post reports that Post reporter Leila Fadel was at the hospital in Misrata working on a separate story when Hetherington and Hondros were brought in. She said Hondros had apparently been hit by shrapnel and had suffered a "severe head injury."

USA TODAY collaborated with Hondros three years ago about his experiences riding in a Humvee in Iraq. View it here.
Update at 2:18 p.m. ET: The Associated Press quotes a doctor in Misrata as reporting that a Western photographer has been killed and another seriously wounded. It is also withholding their names.
Earlier posting: veteran war photographer was reported killed and three colleagues injured today in the besieged Libyan town of Misrata, The New York Times reports.
Several news sites and Twitter postings, including The Times have identified the photographers, but because much of the information is conflicting we are withholding the names for the moment.
The Times quotes an unidentified colleagues at a triage center in Misrata as saying the wounds to two of the photographers are "grave" and that one of them is "clinging to life."
The Times says early reports indicated the photographers were working together near the front lines when they were hit by a rocket-propelled grenade.
Hetherington, a contributing photographer for Vanity Fair magazine, was co-director, with Sebastian Junger, of the documentary about a platoon of Soldiers in Afghanistan. Restreopo won a Grand Jury Prize at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival.
