21 Sep James Foley
American photojournalist James Foley filed his photos from an Internet café in Syria on Nov. 22, 2012 and was headed to Turkey when armed men overtook his taxi and forced him into a van at gunpoint. He was covering Syria’s civil war for GlobalPost and Agence France‐Presse. A seasoned war correspondent, Foley was held captive for 44 days in 2011 while covering the uprising in Libya. After his assasination in Syria, his parents put out a statement: “He gave his life trying to expose the world to the suffering of the Syrian people.”
