ROME -- Veteran journalist and writer Oriana Fallaci, a former war correspondent best known for her abrasive interviews and provocative stances, has died, Italian news reports said Friday. She was 76.
Fallaci, who had been diagnosed with cancer years ago, died in a Florence hospital, the Italian agencies ANSA and Apcom said. The reports said that she had been hospitalized for days.
Fallaci, a former Resistance fighter and war corespondent who was hardly seen in public, had lived in New York for years.
During her journalistic career she became known for uncompromising interviews with such world leaders as former U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger and the late Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat.
Her recent publications _ including the best-selling book "The Rage and The Pride," which came out weeks after the Sept. 11, 2001 _ drew accusations of inciting hatred against Muslims.

A heroine who spoke truth about Islamofascists.
Adonai....
She never got near the press that she should have. Probably because the MSM didn't want to touch her.
She was almost eighty years old?
Her books were magnificent.
Yes, we will.
Ah crap...
Che Dio la lascia nel paradiso, aunque non si considerava una Cristiana.
Requiescat in Pacem.
Very brave lady.
Rest in Peace..
A great lady has gone home to her maker. This world is richer for her being here and poorer now that she has left.
One of the brighter lights against islamofascism in Europe has gone out. R.I.P.
Rwquiem aeternam dona ei, Domine, et lux perpetua luceat ei. Requiescat in pace.
RIP
Well done thou good and faithful servent, enter into thine eternal reast.
YOU were a brave woman, Oriana, and we'll miss your honesty and frankness! May God give rest to your soul!
