JOURNALIST KIDNAPPED ON THIS DAY IN 1985

Terry Anderson Was a Pawn in a Nasty Game, and a Hero for Journalists –  Mother Jones

In Beirut, Lebanon, Islamic militants kidnapped American journalist
Terry Anderson
and take him to the southern suburbs of the war-
torn city, where other Western hostages are being held in scattered dungeons under ruined buildings.

Before his abduction, Anderson covered the Lebanese Civil War for
The Associated Press and also served as the AP’s Beirut bureau
chief.

In 1993, Anderson published Den of Lions, a memoir of his time in captivity. In 2002, he won a lawsuit against the Iranian government
and was granted a multi-million dollar settlement.
