Cartoonist Mohamed al-Amin Still Missing In Libya

David Bauder of the Associated Press has penned a long article detailing the latest information on the status of a significant number of journalists cut off at one time or another from their employers, families and loved ones while pursuing stories in Libya. The cartoonist Mohamed el-Amin, who's been missing since very early on, is one of those for whom Bauder has very little information, a somewhat distressing outcome given the proportional outcomes and the fact that this is no more information than the last big update on March 22.

Another Libyan cartoonist, Kais al-Hilali, was slain right after making a caricature on a wall in Benghazi, although the viral way in which his passing was noted by his peers and general well-wishers might be taken to indicate that el-Amin perhaps did not meet a similar fate.
