Serbian Photographer On The Front Lines Of History
November 03, 2016

As Iraqi and Kurdish forces fight to liberate Mosul from IS militants, Serbian photojournalist Goran Tomasevic is again on the front lines. We look back on some of the most powerful images the veteran photographer has captured over nearly a quarter of a century covering the world's conflicts.

19.  A U.S. Marine is knocked from his position by a Taliban bullet in Afghanistan. Tomasevic wrote that the wall seemed to "explode from an incoming round and [he] was down. I dropped my cameras and jumped toward him. I felt his head and neck expecting to find blood, but there was none. He was breathing, but unconscious.... It was his lucky day. He hadn't been hit or seriously hurt."

2. Fighters of forces allied with the Libya's UN-backed government fire a rocket at Islamic State fighters in Sirte, August 2016.

I think I'd have my helmet on.
