An image taken on November 8, 2010 and released by the Moroccan gendarmerie on November 15 shows an apparent vehicle of the Moroccan gendarmerie spraying water from a watergun towards alleged protesters near Laayoune. Moroccan forces dismantled a camp on November 8, housing thousands of refugees in the Western Sahara leaving four dead and scores injured, according to the rival sides. The security forces were ordered to empty a camp housing some 12,000 people set up four weeks ago outside Laayoune, the main town in the Western Sahara, in a protest against the deterioration of living standards.

It looks like Wiggo is the fanboy made up to be meeting J!

Great shot - one of my favourite actors too.

Yes, he is quite famous around the world as actor and director, Down by Law, Life is Beautiful etc, but his real genius is political satire. In Italy no one better than him put in evidence the filth of Berlusconi power, making laugh millions of people. He is very loved and also very hated, it depend of which political part the Italian audience belong.

lollercaust.

lollercaust? The lower photo is the moment three of the people in the picture lost their lives.

the single image of the tank fire is beautiful in a horrible way, it seems detached. the full series (only 7 images) showing the moments before and after is really incredible and moving. the photographer is so close to it all.

Exactly! I was so surprised when I saw it that I thought it could have been some awesome editing trickery, but no... just an unbelievable bit of timing during an incredibly sad and violent moment.

I'd like to think they felt nothing at all - I think less can be said for their friend they've left behind

Just a few metres between life and death. Incredible photos.

From that set.
