BENGHAZI, Libya - Al-Jazeera says a cameraman for the Qatar-based satellite station has been killed near the eastern Libyan city of Benghazi, as other journalists describe harrowing and "surreal" conditions for work.
The station identified the slain journalist as Ali Hassan al-Jaber but did not specify his nationality. It said he was killed in what it called an "armed ambush" on an Al-Jazeera crew in the Hawari area near Benghazi, which is the headquarters of the rebellion seeking to oust Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi. The station did not comment on who was responsible for the attack.
The station said Saturday a correspondent was also wounded.
