Bernd Debusmann

Bernd Debusmann is a veteran journalist who worked with Reuters for nearly 50 years, reporting from more than 100 countries including conflict zones such as Angola, Eritrea, Central America, Iran and Iraq. He was shot in the back from a passing car in Beirut in 1980, which he calls "censorship by 7.65 mm bullet." It remains encased near his spine as "a permanent souvenir.”
