British photographer fighting for life after roadside blast in Afghanistan - Telegraph: "Giles Duley was embedded with US troops in Kandahar when he was critically injured by an improvised explosive device (IED) on Monday.
The 39-year-old has been jetted back to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham for further surgery after undergoing multiple amputations at the local UN Hospital in Kandahar.
London-born Mr Duly, a photographer and journalist specialising in humanitarian issues, has worked with Medecins sans Frontieres as well as a host of other charities.
In January last year, Rupert Hamer, defence correspondent of the Sunday Mirror, became the first British journalist to be killed in Afghanistan when the armoured vehicle in which he was travelling was hit by a roadside bomb.
Philip Coburn, a photographer with the same newspaper, suffered severe leg injuries."
