2. Four Journalists Missing in Libya

Four of The New York Times's reporters in Libya are missing, including
Pulitzer Prize- winner Anthony Shadid and Stephen Farrell, who was
kidnapped by the Taliban in 2009 and rescued by British commandos.
Editors last made contact with the reporters on Tuesday morning, and
secondhand reports say they were picked up by pro-government forces in
Ajdabiya. "We have talked with officials of the Libyan government in
Tripoli, and they tell us they are attempting to ascertain the
whereabouts of our journalists," New York Times editor Bill Keller said.
"We are grateful to the Libyan government for their assurance that if
our journalists were captured, they would be released promptly and
unharmed."
