Legendary AP war photographer Horst Faas, known for his dramatic pictures of people embroiled in the violence of the Vietnam War, has died. His work in Vietnam, where he was based for a decade, earned him his first Pulitzer Prize in 1965. He won a second Pulitzer in 1972 for pictures of torture and executions in Bangladesh.
