Terrorists Target Journalists:
Around the world, journalists are being kidnapped, tortured and killed as high-stakes pawns in dangerous war zones. In Syria and Yemen, terrorists executed three kidnapped American journalists in 2014.
More than 90 journalists have been kidnapped in Syria alone since the country's civil war began in 2011. Some European governments have paid ransoms to release journalists; the US government does not. Governments and news organizations are wrestling with how to protect journalists reporting from regions stalked by extremists. |
