Reporter who interviewed Pol Pot dies

Nate Thayer (pic), a fearless reporter who survived several brushes with death over decades covering conflict in South-East Asia and was the last Western journalist to interview Pol Pot, the leader of the murderous Khmer Rouge regime in Cambodia, has died.

Thayer was found dead at his Falmouth, Massachusetts home on Tuesday by a friend, his brother Rob Thayer said on Thursday. He was 62.
