LONDON, Aug. 14 (Xinhua) -- A 61-year-old cameraman working for British media Sky News has been killed in Cairo on Wednesday as Egypt's security forces clear up pro- Morsi sit-ins.
Mick Deane was part of a team covering the violence in Cairo. He was "shot and killed," but the rest of the team are unhurt, according to Sky News reports.
Deane had worked for Sky for 15 years, based in Washington and then Jerusalem.
British Prime Minister David Cameron tweeted: "I am saddened to hear of the death of cameraman Mick Deane, covering Egyptian violence. My thoughts are with his family and the Sky News team."
At least 15 people were killed and 203 others were injured in confrontations between supporters of ousted President Mohamed Morsi and the security forces during the dispersing operation that started early Wednesday at two major squares in Egypt, an Egyptian health official told Xinhua.
