The father of Anthony Shadid, a New York Times correspondent missing in Libya, said his son told him “not to worry” Monday, one day before he and three journalists disappeared.
“I told him it?s so crazy there, no one knows who?s friend, who?s foe,” Buddy Shadid told the Associated Press. “But he said he knew what he?s doing. We?re all just praying for his safety.”
Anthony Shadid, Stephen Farrell, Tyler Hicks and Lynsey Addario were reporting on the fighting in the eastern part of the country, the Times said in a statement Wednesday.
