Mohammed Nabbous is one of the most popular and richest Journalist who was born on February 27, 1983 in Benghazi, Libya. Nabbous was reporting on claims that the Gaddafi government had declared a ceasefire in response to UN Security Council Resolution 1973. Nabbous was apparently shot in the head by an unidentified sniper shortly after reporting on the Gaddafi government cease-fire. He was sitting in a truck and using his mobile phone to record audio. The recording was cut at the time of the shooting. Nabbous was in critical condition and died at 3:00 p.m. CET. Nabbous’ widow announced his death via video on Libya Alhurra TV.

Nabbous stated that he ran a wireless ISP in Benghazi during the 2000s, with five WLAN access points. However, he was forced to close the business due to competition from government-sponsored broadband services using ADSL or Wimax technologies.

Nabbous was shot by a sniper and killed on 19 March 2011 while reporting on attempts by government forces to fight revolutionaries and attack civilians in Benghazi. Hours after the death of Nabbous, international coalition airplanes entered Libyan airspace to enforce a no-fly zone authorized by United Nations Security Council Resolution 1973. In the last weeks of his life, Nabbous focused on bringing international attention to the humanitarian crisis unfolding in Libya. His death was widely reported by CNN and various media outlets. Prior to the establishment of Libya Alhurra TV, Nabbous operated a number of businesses in Benghazi city.

At the outbreak of the Libyan Civil War, Nabbous was the founder of Libya Alhurra TV, the first independent broadcast news organization since Gaddafi took power in Libya. Libya Alhurra TV was established in Benghazi, Libya on 19 February 2011 and started broadcasting online when Nabbous established a two- way satellite connection in the wake of a complete Internet blackout imposed by the Gaddafi government after the 17 February protests.
