A beloved and brilliant writer, Shadid spent his two-decade career reporting for the Times and The Washington Post in the Middle East. He was also the author of three books, including "House of Stone,"due out this March. Anthony Shadid (Sue Ogrocki/AP) The New York Times reported Shadid's death Thursday evening, writing that he succumbed to a severe asthma attack. A Times photographer, Tyler Hicks, managed to carry Shadid's body from Syria into Turkey. Shadid's death came just hours after the United Nations overwhelmingly voted for a resolution condemning the violent crackdown by the government of Syria. The Times said Shadid was in the country working to gather information on the opposition forces and that the Syrian government had not been informed of Shadid's entry into the country. Shadid did not shy away from danger, even after being shot in the shoulder in 2002 in Ramallah, while working for the Boston Globe. He was also one of four New York Times reporters arrested in Libya last March. In 2010, Shadid won his second Pulitzer Prize for his work while at The Post. The Pulitzer board wrote they awarded Shadid "for his rich, beautifully written series on Iraq as the United States departs and its people and leaders struggle to deal with the legacy of war and to shape the nation's future."
