Terrible terrible news - Pierre was one of the loviest people you could ever hope to meet - and there he was always on the toughest of assignments - I saw him on a roof top in Kabul last fall - as collegial and warm and friendly as ever - my heartfelt condolences for his family.
Horrible news to report: Fox cameraman Pierre Zakrzewski was killed in the same attack that wounded correspondent Benjamin Hall. I worked with Pierre many times around the world. He was an absolute treasure. Sending our most heartfelt prayers to Pierre's wife and family.
