Second Palestinian Journalist Shot Dead by Israeli Forces in Gaza
-----------------------------------------------------------------

In the Gaza Strip, Palestinian journalist Ahmed Abu Hussein died
Wednesday from wounds he sustained while covering protests against
Israel's occupation. Hussein was shot in the abdomen on April 13 even
though he was wearing protective gear clearly marked PRESS. He's the
second Palestinian journalist killed since large-scale protests erupted
in Gaza on March 30. Earlier this month, Yaser Murtaja was shot and
killed by an Israeli sniper under similar circumstances.
