Information about Mazen Dana

Mazen Dana (1962-August 17, 2003) was a Palestinian journalist who worked as a Reuters cameraman and was shot and killed by United States soldiers in Baghdad, Iraq on August 17, 2003. The soldiers allegedly mistook his camera for a rocket launcher, although members of his family dispute this version, arguing that he was deliberately targeted because of his work in uncovering alleged secret large scale U.S. troop losses..

Dana worked for Reuters for over ten years, mostly in his home town of Hebron on the West Bank.

In 2001, Dana was the recipient of a CPJ International Press Freedom Award in recognition of his courage and commitment to covering the conflict in his hometown. He was married with four children.
