Summary
The tragic death in Libya of photographers Tim Hetherington and Chris Hondros, caught in the middle of a rocket attack by Moammar Gaddafi forces, is the latest in a series of dangerous encounters by American journalists plunging head-long into the chaos and perils of conflict in the Middle East. Earlier this year, Anderson Cooper was beaten up by a crowd as he covered a demonstration in Egypt, and CBS News correspondent Lara Logan suffered a harrowing sexual assault while covering demonstrations in Tahrir Square.
