Suicide bomber kills Afghan news cameraman

A television cameraman, Abdul Qodus, has been killed in a double suicide bombing in Afghanistan. Qodus, 25, arrived at the scene of a suicide car bomb to report on its effects when a second attacker, with explosives strapped to his body, walked into the crowd and blew himself up. The cameraman, working for the Aryana, a Kabul-based TV network, died of his injuries at a local hospital. The press watchdog, the Committee to Protect Journalists said: "Journalists are especially vulnerable to these kinds of double suicide attacks because they are often among the first on the scene."
