Malaysia-born photojournalist Marcus Yam wins Pulitzer Prize

He won the coveted award for his poignant, searing pictures taken during the fall of Kabul, Afghanistan to Taliban fighters.

The paper added that Yam was able to take the photos despite being manhandled by one of the insurgents, saying that he also overcame the technical hurdles of transmitting images out of a war zone. Yam' editors said the journalist employed an"almost radical open-mindedness" to capture scenes that epitomized the chaotic end of the United States 20 year occupation of Afghanistan.

"You were out there doing amazing things and what you have done with the photography and the images were so important for the world as the word 'genocide' really needs to be said. Your pictorial brings it home," said Times owner and executive chairman Dr Patrick Soon-Shiong of Yam's win.
