"It has been nothing less than a bloodbath," CJFE Executive Director Joel Ruimy said of the carnage last night and this morning that claimed the lives of two correspondents and three cameramen. "With these new deaths, a total of nine journalists have been killed covering this war. Another three have died from other causes.
"That compares with four journalists killed in the entire six-week Gulf War of 1991 and eight during the Afghanistan War in 2001."
