Blogger Rima Abdelkader reports [1] that a Palestinian student captured the massacre that took place at Virginia Tech
“One Virginia Tech student became a citizen journalist today by capturing some of the shooting through his cell phone. With a Nokia N70 camera phone in hand and a lot of courage, Virginia Tech student, Jamal Albarghouti, of Palestinian descent from the West Bank in Palestine, recorded the shooting of an unidentified gunman, downloaded it and then sent it to CNN i-Report, where everyday people get the chance to become citizen journalists by posting video of events affecting them and their communities,” she writes.
