Two cameramen, Taras Protsyuk, 35, from the Reuters news agency, and Jose Couso, 37, of Spanish television station Telecinco, were killed at the Palestine Hotel in an incident that triggered a torrent of criticism from international media watchdogs.

The US Central Command said in a statement in Qatar that US marines had retrieved the body of a dead journalist Friday. It did not say which.

The statement said the marines had also transferred two injured journalists to a field hospital.

A fourth journalist, who was uninjured, was also found at the hospital.
