ANKARA, Turkey (AP) — An Al-Jazeera cameraman says a colleague was wounded while they were covering clashes in the northern Syrian province of Aleppo.

Hakan Bayginer says Ankara-based Al-Jazeera correspondent Omar Khashram was injured Monday after a mortar round fell near their car. He says Khashram was injured by shrapnel in areas unprotected by his flak jacket. Bayginer was traveling in the same car but escaped unharmed.
