America’s Longest-Held Middle East Hostage, AP Newsman Terry Anderson, Dead at 76
Anderson was held hostage by Hezbollah in Lebanon for seven years beginning in the 1980s.
Terry Anderson, the globe-trotting Associated Press correspondent who became one of America’s longest-held hostages after he was snatched from a street in war-torn Lebanon in 1985 and held for nearly seven years, has died at 76.
Anderson, who chronicled his abduction and torturous imprisonment by Islamic terrorists in his best-selling 1993 memoir “Den of Lions,” died on Sunday at his home in Greenwood Lake, New York, said his daughter, Sulome Anderson.
