Check out this chap playing a guitar while a fierce gun battle goes down around him! At first I thought I was watching a scene from a remake of El Mariachi – set entirely in Libya. But this extraordinary image was taken during the recent battle for Sirte, the last stronghold of Gaddafi’s troops. It was captured by photographer, Aris Messinis for Getty Images.

Sadly, there is no note attached to the photo to say what song was being played – or, indeed, why. However, he is not alone. A very interesting article on Libya’s fighting guitarists can be found here.
