From the BBC:

Al-Jazeera said its correspondent Tareq Ayoub died and a cameraman was injured when two missiles hit its office, virtually destroying it.

Reporting from Iraq is fraught with danger <br /> US military officials said the building was struck by mistake.



&#8220;It is something we all regret. But I don&#8217;t believe that it is possible that it was deliberate,&#8221; US State Department spokesman Nabil Khoury told the network.

From the NY Times:

Later, four Reuters employees were injured, two of them seriously, when their office in the Palestine Hotel was hit, apparently by American tank fire, a spokesperson for Reuters in London said.
