Unembedded journalists facing serious
difficulties in Iraq
Editor & Publisher
The Chicago Tribune's Laurie Goering tells E&P:
"Unilaterals [unembedded journalists] have had mortars and RPGs
[rocket-propelled grenades] fired at them by Iraqi troops. Lack of supply
is also an enormous problem. Unilaterals who are up closer to Baghdad are
having to abandon their vehicles as they cannot source gasoline to
keep them running ...I hear a small group of unilaterals up there are
actually siphoning the last of their gas into one vehicle, getting
in together, and trying to make it to Baghdad in that
vehicle."
