A Reuters stringer photographer was beaten up Wednesday by Hezbollah supporters near Beirut. Here is a Reuters photo of Wadih Shlink being treated. The caption to the photo:
A civil defence medic attends to photographer Wadih Shlink after he was beaten by Hezbollah supporters in a Beirut suburb May 7, 2008. Supporters of Lebanon's Hezbollah-led opposition blocked main roads in Beirut with burning barricades on Wednesday, paralysing the capital in a long-running political standoff with the U.S.-backed government.
Details are sketchy but Brian Ledbetter is on the case. He adds: "I'm betting that he was taking pictures of something that would've cast Hezbullah in a negative light."
