 Accolades poured in Monday for veteran American reporter David Gilkey and an Afghan reporter killed in southern Afghanistan when their vehicle came under Taliban fire, highlighting the growing dangers faced by journalists covering the worsening conflict. Gilkey and his colleague, 38-year-old Zabihullah Tamanna, were killed Sunday while they were travelling with an Afghan army unit near the town of Marja in the volatile opium-rich province of Helmand. Two other National Public Radio (NPR) journalists travelling with Gilkey in a separate vehicle, reporter Tom Bowman and producer Monika Evstatieva, were unharmed.
