Ahmend Hussein Hassan, 23, recovers from severe burns at the Madina hospital in Somalia's capital Mogadishu, August 5, 2007. Hassan, a video cameraman, was badly burned by masked gunmen in his studio after he and eight colleagues were held at gunpoint by suspsected Islamic insurgents. The attackers poured gasoline on them and set them on fire. One was killed and the rest are being treated for severe burns.
