Terry Anderson, the globe-trotting Associated Press correspondent who became one of America’s longest-held hostages, has died. His death Sunday was confirmed by his daughter, Sulome Anderson. Terry Anderson was snatched from a street in war-torn Lebanon in 1985 and held for nearly seven years. Anderson, who was tortured and chained to a wall, wrote about his experiences in the best-selling memoir, “Den of Lions.” After returning to the United States in 1991, Anderson gave public speeches, taught journalism and, at various times, operated a blues bar, Cajun restaurant, horse ranch and gourmet restaurant. He also struggled with post-traumatic stress disorder.
