BBC reporters gunned down in Riyadh

by | Jun 7, 2004 | Uncategorized | 0 comments

Stuart Hughes has the news about the Saudi shooting of his two colleagues in Riyadh. Stuart is presently in London in the BBC newsroom. Here’s Frank Gardner’s last report from Saudi Arabia before being gunned down on a Riyadh street. Simon Cumbers was killed and Frank is in critical condition, but was described as “stabilized” today, though he is in a coma.

UPDATE: I wasn’t going to post this, but Stuart did, so I will. This is a screen grab from Saudi TV of Frank Gardner just after he was shot.
