****** hell....

The Dean

Quite............. I'm forwarding that to everyone I know, wherever they are. She's live on Channel 4 News back home tonight, so hopefully the world will see more of what's going on in Syria (and her work will get a wider audience).

She got beaten up badly in Libya last year too (it's all over Google) - amazing lady........

Scamp

Christ.

If pros were admitted, then no question about it, that takes the cake and cherry on top.

The #3 picture, as horrific as it is, must be the most timely photo ever taken. They didn't even know they were dead.

there is always something chilling to see the last moments of peoples lives caught on film. Very moving and disturbing images
