    An Australian news article about the FSA fighters and the homemade mortar which they refer to as the Hell Cannon. I bookmarked of this because it's a more in-depth look at the cannon, which was shown although briefly in some of my earlier bookmarks.

    Somewhat off my normal topic, I found this article fascinating. This photographer, when the war in Libya broke out, decided to go and document the war with nothing more than his iPhone. Even after being hit by a mortar attack, he still went on documenting for his new book, the war torn and sometimes never shown images from the Libyan war.
