Misrata is the only rebel-held city in western Libya and has been under attack from forces loyal to Colonel Muammar Gaddafi for weeks.
Mr. Hetherington and Mr. Hondros were among a group of journalists pulling back from near the front line, during a lull in the fighting, when they suffered their injuries.
Both men were well-respected war photographers.
Tim Hetherington, who had dual UK and US citizenship, was best known for his work in Afghanistan and won the World Press Photo of the Year Award in 2007. He also co-directed the Oscar-nominated documentary Restrepo, which followed US troops in Afghanistan.

New-York based Mr Hondros was working for Getty Images and his previous awards include the Robert Capa Gold Medal for war photography.
Let us pray to God the Father, Jesus, all of the saints and all of the angels that Tim Hetherington and Chris Hondros are in heaven. Let us pray that they are at peace and are with God. Amen
