People forget just how much reporters are risking covering the news in dangerous parts of the world. The one guy I always think of is Richard Engel, reporter for NBC News. He speaks Arabic so he can move through the population a little easier than most, but even he was nabbed this week. This statement was released by NBC this morning...
“After being kidnapped and held for five days inside Syria by an unknown group, NBC News Chief Foreign Correspondent Richard Engel and his production crew members have been freed unharmed. We are pleased to report they are safely out of the country.”
