SYRIA: German news agency DPA photographer killed

Award-winning Syrian photographer Anas Alkharboutli, who worked for German press agency DPA, was killed Wednesday in an air strike near the Syrian city of Hama, his employer said.

“Our photographer Anas Alkharboutli, who documented the civil war in Syria in a unique visual language, has been killed in an air strike near the Syrian city of Hama. Anas was just 32 years old,” DPA said in a statement.

“All of us at DPA are in shock and deeply saddened by the death of Anas Alkharboutli,” editor-in-chief Sven Goesmann said in the statement.

“With his pictures, he not only documented the horrors of war but always worked for the truth. Anas remains a role model for our work,” he added.

Islamist-led rebels last week launched a massive offensive in northern Syria, taking second city Aleppo from government control and advancing on the central city of Hama, with fierce clashes reported between the fighters and the army.
