Danish Siddiqui was on an assignment in Afghanistan July last year when he got caught in crossfire while covering clashes between the Afghan troops and the Taliban in Spin Boldak district of Kandahar city.
Brave, empathetic against the pain in the world, yet professional about his and his family's safety -- this is how Danish Siddiqui's father remembered him, the day he won his second Pulitzer prize.
“We feel proud of him but we miss him,” said Akhtar Siddiqui, father of photojournalist Danish Siddiqui, who was killed while covering a conflict in Afghanistan last year.
Siddiqui, 38, was on an assignment in Afghanistan July last year when he got caught in crossfire while covering clashes between the Afghan troops and the Taliban in Spin Boldak district of Kandahar city.
This is for the second time that the Reuters journalist has won the Pulitzer Prize.
