AP Journalists Wounded

Two Associated Press journalists were wounded by a roadside bomb while traveling with American forces in Afghanistan Wednesday. Emilio Morenatti, a photographer, and Andi Jatmiko, a videographer, were rushed to a hospital with wounds to their legs. Morenatti's injuries resulted in the loss of his foot. Morenatti is an acclaimed war photographer who won Newspaper Photographer of the Year in 2009. His photo of a Pakistani boy sleeping under a mosquito net received much critical acclaim. One of Morenatti's peers told The New York Times his work is "pure art." Morenatti had another close call in 2006 when he was kidnapped in Gaza and held hostage for 16 hours. Jatmiko, who is from Indonesia, has worked for the AP for 10 years.
