War Photographer Chris Hondros Witnesses U.S. Shooting of Iraqi Parents in Car With Six Children

2007-04-05

We speak with Pulitzer Prize-nominated photojournalist Chris Hondros. He is best known for graphic photographs he took in the northwestern Iraqi city of Tal Afar in 2005 when U.S. troops opened fire on a family of eight approaching a checkpoint in a car. Both parents were killed while the six children in the backseat looked on. [includes rush transcript]

We speak with Pulitzer Prize-nominated photojournalist Chris Hondros. He has worked in most of the world's major conflict zones since the late 1990s, including Kosovo, Angola, Sierra Leone, Afghanistan, Kashmir, the West Bank, Iraq, Lebanon, and Liberia. Chris's work has appeared on the covers of major magazines and on the front pages of most major American newspapers.

Chris is a staff photographer for the international photo agency Getty Images. He has just returned from his ninth stint in Iraq, which he chronicled at his blog on GettyImages.com. He joins us today in our firehouse studio.
