An American freelance journalist and photojournalist who was covering the Syrian Civil War when he was abducted on November 22, 2012. He is reportedly believed to be the first victim, with American citizenship of the self-proclaimed Islamic State (I.S.)
Foley was a teacher before he switched to journalism. In 2009 he worked on USAID-funded development projects in Iraq, and later became an embedded journalist with U.S. troops there. In 2011 he joined the U.S. military newspaper Stars and Stripes in Afghanistan. Later that year, working for GlobalPost in Libya, he was captured by forces loyal to Muammar Gaddafi and held for 44 days. When captured in Syria the following year, he was working for Agence France-Presse and GlobalPost.
He wanted to show the world the truth of war through photos.But terrorist don't want to be exposed.
Because of him, the world realized how dangerous this group is and how wrong those who support this group are. Because of his work, short life, and death, the world's power have changed course.
May he rest in peace.
