      American journalist (b. Oct. 10, 1963, Princeton, N.J.—d. late January? 2002, Pakistan), went to work for The Wall Street Journal in 1990 and by 2000 had become the paper's South Asia bureau chief. On Jan. 23, 2002, thinking he was being taken to interview a radical Islamic leader, he was kidnapped in Karachi, and four days later an e-mailed photograph of him in chains and with a gun to his head was released. His death was confirmed on February 21 after a videotape showing his execution was received by American officials.
