Al-Jazeera television mourned Tuesday cameraman Zakaria Ibrahim, who was killed in Syria and was its sixth staff member to die covering the conflict that broke out in 2011, AFP reports. 

"Al-Jazeera connected Zakaria Ibrahim and his other colleagues in Syria, who were living under siege, to the rest of the world," said Arabic language managing director Yaser Abuhilalah. "The channel will not spare any effort in alleviating the pain of their families and ensuring their security."
