Belgian citizen injured in Syria
A video journalist covering the Syrian uprising for The Associated Press was wounded while filming clashes between rebels and the Syrian army, the CBS says referring to AP.
Ahmed Bahaddou, a Belgian citizen, was struck in the shoulder by a bullet during a firefight Friday in northern Syria and was evacuated Sunday to London. He was admitted to a hospital in stable condition, and the wound was not considered life threatening.
Bahaddou's injury highlights the dangers to reporters seeking to cover Syria's uprising, which activists trying to topple the regime of President Bashar Assad say has killed more than 14,000 people.
