Accompanying Dana's burial is the entire story, apparently: I typed in "Mazen Dana" in a Google News search, and got a grand total of 2 stories on today's event in Hebron.

HEBRON, 21 August 2003 — Mazen Dana, the Reuters cameraman killed by US troops in Iraq, was buried yesterday in the West Bank city where he braved bullets to chronicle the tragedy of Israeli-Palestinian bloodshed.

Mourning and militancy mixed yesterday as hundreds of Palestinians turned out for Dana’s funeral.

About3 , 000mourners, some chanting “Americans are dogs”, accompanied Dana’s body through his home town of Hebron in a procession reminiscent of final honors accorded to Palestinians killed by Israel in an uprising for statehood.

Dana, a41 -year-old Palestinian, was best known for award-winning reporting from Hebron, a main flash point of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict where he had been wounded and beaten numerous times by Israeli soldiers.

On Sunday, while on assignment in Iraq, he was shot dead by a US soldier on a tank as he filmed near Baghdad’s Abu Ghraib prison.
