The New York Times reported that four journalists reporting for the newspaper in Libya were missing.
The New York Times said the journalists, including photographers Tyler Hicks (left) and Lynsey Addario (below left), with reporters Stephen Farrell and Anthony Shadid, were last in contact with their editors Tuesday morning from the town of Ajdabiya. Hicks has photographed in places such as Kosovo, Chechnya, Congo, Ethiopia, Sudan, Iraq and Afghanistan.
We have talked with officials of the Libyan government in Tripoli, and they tell us they are attempting to ascertain the whereabouts of our journalists, Bill Keller, executive editor of the New York Times, said in a statement.
Keller said the Libyan government had assured the New York Times that if the journalists had been captured, they would be released promptly and unharmed.
Last week a Brazilian reporter was freed by government forces in Libya. A journalist from Britains Guardian newspaper remains missing.
A BBC news team also said last week it had been detained by Libyan security forces, beaten and subjected to mock execution after they were arrested at a checkpoint.
