ROSEMARY CHURCH, WORLD NEWS: United Nations spokesman David Wimhurst is expressing his condolences for two journalists killed in a rebel ambush in Sierra Leone. Robert Moore looks at the careers of the two men who brought the realities of war to millions of people.</s>ROBERT MOORE, ITN REPORTER (voice-over): The two war correspondents - one a reporter, the other a news cameraman - were gunned down in a rebel ambush to the east of Freetown. This was front- line reporting in one of the most hazardous war zones in the world. Thirty-two-year-old Miguel Gil was widely seen in television news as one of the most courageous war cameramen who had stayed in Kosovo throughout the fighting and who filmed the mounting human suffering. He produced some of the most compelling images of the conflict. He worked for the television arm of the Associated Press, and his pictures were used by TV news companies around the world.</s>MIGUEL GIL MORENO, AP CAMERAMAN: We are trying to tell the stories of the people who are going through the worst experiences in their lives.</s>MOORE: His work was recognized last month when he won the prestigious RTS award for Cameraman of the Year. Alongside him died the veteran Reuters reporter Kurt Schork, seen here battling to save an injured woman during the Bosnian war. Among the last images that Gil filmed was at a spot close to where he died. The brutal war in Sierra Leone, characterized by wild militias and ill-disciplined gunmen, has now climbed the lives of two of those who were doing their very best to explain that violence to the outside world.
