[quote]Libyan leader Col Muammar Gaddafi's security forces detained and beat up a BBC news team who were trying to reach the strife-torn western city of Zawiya.
The trio were beaten with fists, knees and rifles, hooded and subjected to mock executions by members of Libya's army and secret police.
The three men were held for 21 hours, but have now flown out of Libya following their detention on Monday.
Government forces are in a fierce fight to wrest Zawiya from rebel control.
One of the team, Chris Cobb-Smith, said: "We were lined up against the wall. I was the last in line - facing the wall.
"I looked and I saw a plain-clothes guy with a small sub-machine gun. He put it to everyone's neck. I saw him and he screamed at me.
"Then he walked up to me put the gun to my neck and pulled the trigger, twice, the bullets whisked past my ear. The soldiers just laughed."
A second member of the team - Feras Killani, a correspondent of Palestinian descent - is said to have been singled out by their captors for the worst of the violence.
The third member of the team, cameraman Goktay Koraltan, said he was convinced they were going to die.[/quote]

That is probably the worst thing you could do in Libya.
Oh man, No one is going to accept this
Gaddafi just never stops being ass-backwards these days, does he?

Yeah they will, this happens way too often for anyone to actually take any notice of it past a few headlines to be honest.
I was reserved at first, but over the past few days I've decided I want intervention.
SAS/other special forces secret intervention in 3...2...1...
I think it's time that another country intervenes...

They were released all they were doing was trying to establish contact.
He's just digging his own grave.
now that's bloody journalism
i've always thought the BBC reporters have had such massive balls to go half of the places almost no-one else goes
Welp, guess who's totally screwed.
This is like giving a gun to your enemy and asking him to shoot you
Terrible analogy I know

A slightly better one would be giving a gun to your enemy and saying something like "oh darnit, I think I forgot to take the bullets out".
Intervention time.
Remember the time a US Apache gunned down a Iraqi reporter.

Why not? He's been rabid since the seventies, and a real pain in the ass for the west. One bullet ought to do it. Or a 2,000lb JDAM. It's not like the intelligence services don't know where he is, after all.

You mean the reporter that, against advice from his editor, embedded himself with a bunch of insurgents?
What I?...
GA! TURK! TA! RAGE!!
Unfortunately if the assassination fails and he manages to live he will take it as some divine intervention and go even more crazy batshit.
They better aim really well.
1 sniper rifle 1 bullet and 1 plane ticket to libya and i'll do the fucking job myself im sick of seeing him get away with murder.
