Terry Anderson: US journalist held hostage in Lebanon for years dies at 76
==========
US journalist Terry Anderson, who was held hostage for nearly seven years during Lebanon's civil war, has died at the age of 76. Anderson, the chief Middle East correspondent for the Associated Press, was captured by Islamist militants in 1985 during the Lebanon hostage crisis. He died at his home in New York on Sunday. Anderson's daughter, Sulome Anderson, said that he had found peace in recent years after the ordeal. Anderson was eventually released in 1991 as the civil war ended. He taught journalism at various US colleges and wrote a best-selling autobiography about his time in captivity.
