Peter Arnett reported from Vietnam to the Gulf Wars, earning the 1966 Pulitzer Prize and interviewing Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden during a 40-year career.
- On Wednesday, Peter Arnett, the Pulitzer Prize-winning war correspondent, died in Newport Beach after entering hospice Saturday due to prostate cancer.
- Arnett joined The Associated Press as its Indonesia correspondent and arrived in Vietnam a year later; he remained with the AP until joining CNN and became a household name after live first Gulf War broadcasts.
- He broadcast live by cellphone amid missile strikes in Baghdad while many Western reporters had fled, and he survived dangerous combat in Vietnam where four shots tore through a map inches from his face.
- He resigned from CNN after the network retracted an investigative report he narrated and was fired while covering the second Gulf War for granting an interview to Iraqi state TV.
- His legacy includes a memoir and archived reporting; Arnett published Live From the Battlefield: From Vietnam to Baghdad, 35 Years in the World's War Zones and taught journalism at Shantou University before retiring to Fountain Valley, California with his wife Nina Nguyen.
