      Heavy fighting is going on in that area. We have seen a video of a FSA reporter narrowly escaped from mortar shell. A few seconds delay from moving away could be fatal for him. Its difficult to target individual reporter from both side. Its not ethical to target them plus the reporter from both side are embedded with the combat force. So if a morter or missile hit the target then those reporters are also become victim.

        Yes … a risky business … many have died to bring some truth as witnesses. Martyrs.
