Radio Free Europe reports Sunday that a Palestinian television journalist, Mazen Tomeiziri, was killed while filming a news report in the middle of a battle when fire from U.S. helicopters reached the area he was in on the streets of Baghdad. An unnamed cameraman for Reuters was wounded during the fighting as well.
A report from Australia’s Herald Sun offers a much more grim report, however - according to their correspondents, Tomeiziri (whose name is spelled differently in various accounts) was actually killed while on-air to the Al-Arabiya network.

How long until someone claims that the US intentionally killed this Palestinian reporter who was doing a live feed to Al-Arabiya?
24 hours?
