Mohammed Nabbous of Libya al-Hurra TV
Over the weekend one of our associate producers, Josh Bloch, received sad news about a guest we've had on the show. Mohammed Nabbous, the young man in Benghazi, Libya who had set up an independent TV station, was shot and killed by pro-Gadhafi forces.
Mohammad Nabbous was often described as "the face of citizen journalism in Libya." The Guardian wrote about his death and the reaction from journalists online. Mohammed connected the world to Benghazi, through his Livestream feed and interviews with news programs like ours.
