Tareq Ayyoub
Tareq Ayyoub (طارق ايوب) (also spelled Tarek Ayyoub) was an Arab television reporter of Palestinian nationality, employed by Al Jazeera, and previously by Fox News. On April 8th, 2003, Ayyoub was killed when a bomb dropped from a US Air Force A-10 struck the Baghdad headquarters of Al Jazeera during the 2003 Invasion of Iraq. Many of the Arab reporters for Al Jazeera saw this as an intentional attack on their personnel, but the United States stated later that day that the death had been an accident, and that hostile fire had been seen originating from the Al Jazeera headquarters.
The event, from Al Jazeera's perspective, was captured in the documentary Control Room.
