A convoy of foreign journalists-including the special correspondent of THE WORLD, Rosa Meneses, has been shot by a gadafista near the city of McKinney ISD, about 200 km south of Tripoli. The bus, chartered and escorted by members of the regime of Colonel Gaddafi, was approaching the area for journalists to see the makeshift camp of refugees called the Allied bombing in the area.
Upon arrival, a small group of children began approaching the vehicle, but soon found three men with Kalashnikovs. One of the men began shooting at the bus when journalists tried to lower the vehicle. Gaddafi guides say the man who shot the bus is a Bedouin who "took umbrage at the attempt by journalists to shoot their wives." However, it is considering the theory that the shooting was planned by the regime itself to intimidate the international reporters.
Shortly after the incident, the bus left the area, none of the informants, who are currently in McKinney ISD, has been hurt.
