A FORMER North East journalist is missing in Libya, it emerged last night.

Dave Clark, 38, who works as a reporter for Agence France-Presse, was covering the conflict in the eastern city of Tobruk when he disappeared along with photographers Roberto Schmidt, 45, and Joe Raedle.

Mr Clark, a reporter for the Evening Chronicle in Newcastle in the late 1990s, said in an email to his senior editors on Friday evening that the group had planned to travel early on Saturday to a region around 30 kilometres from Tobruk.

Once there, he said, they would attempt to meet opponents of the regime of Muammar Gaddafi and speak to refugees fleeing the fighting.
