1. Kick and rec

Because Clark and Raedle are U.S. citizens.

Schmidt was born in Bogota, Colombia but studied in Miami. Do no know whether he is U.S. citizen now.

Hoping they are safe, in view of the U.S. bombing.

Still no word on the others, AFP "worried":

10.07am:

The Agence France-Presse news agency has expressed concern over the whereabouts of one of its British correspondents in Libya.

AFP has not heard from Dave Clark, an experienced foreign correspondent, since Friday.

Denis Hiault, AFP's London bureau chief, said: "It's now been three days so we are pretty worried. We have quite a few people on the ground trying to find anything about their whereabouts. We don't know where they are, if they have been arrested or what."

Clark, a 38-year-old British reporter went missing with AFP photographer Roberto Schmidt, 45, and Getty Images photographer Joe Raedle. Clarke previously headed AFP's bureaus in Baghdad and Lagos in Nigeria.

Meanwhile, British al-Jazeera cameraman Kamel Atalua is being held by the Libyan authorities in Tripoli along with three colleagues, the news channel has said.
