BAGHOUZ, Syria (AP) – A driver working with NBC News reporters in Syria was killed last Saturday by an explosive device in eastern Syria, where several media outlets are covering the liberation of the last sliver of territory held by the Islamic State (IS) group.
President of NBC News Noah Oppenheim said in a statement that NBC employees escaped unharmed, and expressed “deepest sympathies” to the driver’s family and loved ones.
“We are still gathering information from today’s events, and are in touch with the driver’s family to support them however we can,” he said.
