[Kevin23]

US Diplomat and envoy to Afghanistan and Pakistan Richard Holbrooke has died this evening, days after undergoing emergency surgery for a tear in his aorta.

Before his role in the Obama Administration, Holbrooke was known as one of the key negotiators of the Dayton Accords in 1995 which ended the Bosnian War in the former Yugoslavia, and as one of the contributors to the Pentagon Papers before that particular event.
