Oscar Nominated Director Killed In Libya

Heralded Journalist and Co-director of the Afghan war film "Restrepo" has become a victim of the Lybian civil war.

Tim Hetherington, who had also been recognized as a highly successful and talented journalist, was killed during a series of intense shelling in the city of Misrata.

Hetherington's last Twitter post read "In besieged Libyan city of Misrata. Indiscriminate shelling by Qaddafi forces. No sign of NATO."

Also killed was Chris Hondros, a Pulitzer Prize winning photo journalist and winner of the 2006 Robert Capa Gold Medal, a prestigious award for international photo journalists.
