NBC reporter Mohyeldin pulled out of Gaza

Ayman Mohyeldin, an NBC News journalist whose powerful reporting from Gaza has drawn widespread praise, has been pulled out of the region, Glenn Greenwald reported on Thursday.

NBC told Greenwald that Mohyeldin, who has been replaced by chief foreign correspondent Richard Engel, was removed from the story due to "security concerns." The network refused to issue any further public comment or to explain why the security issues that demanded Mohyeldin's exit from Gaza did not apply to Engel.

Mohyeldin personally witnessed the killing of four Palestinian boys on a Gazan beach.
