"A documentary director that was nominated for an honour at the 83rd Annual Academy Awards has been killed while working in Libya. British photojournalist Tim Hetherington was acknowledged in the &amp;#039;Best Documentary Feature&amp;#039; category at this year&amp;#039;s Oscars, for his work on Afghanistan war film Restrepo, alongside Sebastian Junger. It has been reported that the 41-year-old, who was a four-time winner of the World Press Photographer award, was caught in a mortar attack near the city of Misrata in the North African state, which is currently in the grip of a conflict between government troops and rebel forces. Hetherington is thought to have been caught in a clash while working for news agency Panos, with some news sources reporting that he and a group of fellow journalists were targeted by forces loyal to leader Colonel Gaddafi. American journalist Chris Hondros, working for the Getty agency, is said to be in a critical condition after sustaining brain injuries in the incident, while another two members of the group were also injured. Tributes have flooded in for the acclaimed journalist, with one friend posting on his Facebook page: &amp;quot;RIP Tim, you will be always in my heart, we will try our best to carry on without you, but it will be hard, always are the best who goes, why? why? (sic)&amp;quot; The Foreign Office is yet to confirm Hetherington&amp;#039;s death. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
