The attack reflected Libyan anger at severe petrol shortages, a two-month-old NATO bombing campaign against Muammar Gaddafi's government and state media reports that foreign journalists misrepresent the news. The incident started when a hotel shuttle bus carrying a Reuters reporter and a journalist with Hong Kong-based Phoenix Television to the Tunisian border became snarled in a long line of motorists waiting for fuel at a petrol station in Zuwarah, west of the capital. A crowd quickly formed and some stormed the bus after kicking in its doors. At least two were armed with pistols and one had a knife, said Reuters television producer Guy Desmond said. A BBC support consultant on the bus, a government minder and a soldier managed to ward off the crowd taking blows in the process. The bus' tires were slashed and a soldier fired into the air to push the crowd back. "I have no doubt that these guys pretty much saved our lives," Desmond said. The bus drove to a police station and the journalists later returned to the Tripoli hotel where foreign media are based. Nobody was injured in the incident, which began at about noon local time. Two photojournalists were killed last month after coming under fire in the besieged Libyan town of Misrata. A South African freelance photographer missing since April is believed dead after being shot in the stomach and abandoned in the desert by pro-Gaddafi forces, his family said on Friday.
