A reader describes the above video:
A cell phone cameraman appears to be shot while trying to film the violence in Syria, apparently from last Friday in Homs. There appears to be a man aiming at the cameraman, then a shot is heard and the camera just hits the ground. The only thing I am concerned about is the muted part after that, but I suppose it's possible whoever uploaded the video took out the audio to remove the names of people in it. Either way, if it shows what it appears to show, it's about the clearest example we've seen yet (from any country) of the risks these cell phone cameramen face. Ugh.
Ian Black and Nidaa Hassan have more on the footage.
