You will not be forgotten .

May you rest in peace my friend.

Whilst writing my story ‘at the wrong place at the wrong time’ I now find out you have been on the wrong place at the wrong time at the time of my writing.

But knowing you, you were not on the wrong place you were probably spot on, at the right place to capture the right moment for the rest of the world to see. You were determined to write the story what was necessary to bring to the people at home.

This time you payed the highest price.

We had the privilege to see through your eyes , through your camera what was going on in this world even if it were not the things we like to see, it was the real world. The wrong side of the coin.

You were kidnapped before with John Cantlie your friend, who is (now and still) again kept by IS since 2012. Politely you pleaded for his release. John, the British journalist who has been held hostage by jihadis since 2012, is used now as a journalist and exploited by Isis in an attempt to lend credibility to propaganda films.

One of the famous words of John Cantlie ‘I am a prisoner, that I cannot deny. But seeing as I’ve been abandoned by my government and my fate now lies in the hand of the Islamic State I have nothing to lose. Maybe I will live and maybe I will die, but I want to take this opportunity to convey some facts that you can verify, facts that if you contemplate might help in preserving lives.

Luck was on your side and you could continue to spread the stories , the beautiful pictures .

And now you are shot near Za’afaran in Sirte Libya by an IS sniper.

A very big loss, I hope this was worth it , it must be.

Confused, shocked, deeply touched , I stay
