MISRATA, Libya—The Oscar-nominated co-director of the 2010 film "Restrepo" was killed Wednesday in Libya amid a battle between rebel and government forces.

Tim Hetherington, who was also a contributing photographer to Vanity Fair, was killed when an explosive round landed in a group of press photographers accompanying a rebel patrol in the western city of Misrata.


Another photographer, Chris Hondros, sustained a grave head wound in the incident and was not expected to survive. At least one other photographer, Guy Martin, was also injured and undergoing surgery.

Mr. Hondros was working for Getty Images at the time he was injured. His photos showing house-to-house fighting in Misrata's main street on Tuesday were released by Getty before reports of his injury emerged.

3. A documentary on Gaddafi's mass slaughter in Misrurata would have you clamoring for his trial in ICC

Yeah, even you. Unless I'm underestimating your weaseliness.
