‘Restrepo’ Director Is Killed in Libya
Veteran war photographer Tim Hetherington, who co-directed the award-winning film Restrepo, was killed nowadays in the besieged Libyan town of Misrata, CNN reports.
Three colleagues ended up also hurt, such as Chris Hondros, a photographer for Getty Images, and 2005 winner from the Robert Capa Gold Medal. Hondros had apparently been hit by shrapnel and had endured a “severe head injury.”
In his last tweet from embattled Eastern Libya on Tuesday, Hetherington writes: “In besieged Libyan city of Misrata. Indiscriminate shelling by Qaddafi forces. No sign of NATO.”
