Arnold Junior Pierre, a journalist for Radio Galaxie, was on his way to the station in the Haitian capital of Port-au-Prince when he was ambushed.
A man grabbed him by the collar and demanded to know where he was coming from, he told The Washington Post. Another swept out his legs from under him. They ripped off his small cross-body bag, and a press badge spilled out. He identified himself as a journalist. They continued to hold him down.

Israeli strike hit four areas in notorious Tehran prison. Civilians among the dead.

A former prisoner who happened to be near the complex June 23 when the rockets fell said he ran toward the explosions. As an inmate, he dreamed that he might one day see the prison gates come crashing down, but what he found that day was nightmarish, he told The Washington Post.
