The former Mideast correspondent for The Associated Press who was kidnapped in 1985 has died at his home in New York, according to his daughter, Sulome Anderson.
Terry Anderson, the former Mideast correspondent for The Associated Press who was kidnapped in 1985 and held captive for nearly seven years in Lebanon, has died at 76, his daughter told CNN. Anderson died on Sunday at his home in Greenwood Lake, New York, according to his daughter, Sulome Anderson. “Though my father’s life was marked by extreme suffering during his time as a hostage in captivity, he found a quiet, comfortable peace in recent years,” she said in a statement to CNN.
That experience, as a combat correspondent, shaped Anderson before he left the military at age 23 as a staff sergeant. He’d also discovered his calling: journalism. Heading to Iowa for Marine recruiting duty, Anderson enrolled and graduated from Iowa State University, took a job at a radio station and worked briefly for The Associated Press.
