A Netherlands photojournalist has been shot dead by a sniper apparently belonging to the group known as Islamic State (IS) while reporting on the fighting in the Libyan city of Sirte.<\/p>\n
Jeroen Oerlemans, 45, was killed while he was out with a team that clears mines.<\/p>\n
He was reporting from a part of the city recently freed from IS control.<\/p>\n
Oerlemans was abducted and wounded in Syria in 2012 with British photographer John Cantlie, but freed a week later.<\/p>\n
Mr Cantlie was later abducted again, and is believed to remain in IS captivity.<\/p>\n
