Italian journalist-writer Oriana Fallaci dies

ROME: Journalist and writer Oriana Fallaci, a former war correspondent best known for her uncompromising interviews and provocative stances, is dead at 76. She had cancer. Fallaci, a former Resistance fighter and war correspondent, was hardly seen in public. During her journalistic career she became known for challenging interviews with such leaders as Henry Kissinger and Ayatollah Khomeini. Her recent publications — including The Rage and The Pride, which came out weeks after September 11, 2001 — drew accusations of inciting hatred against Muslims. — AP
