Now, as a wire photographer in charge of the AP’s coverage of the region, Muheisen’s priorities are to provide photo reportage of designated news events and to ensure appropriate planning and coverage – often involving elaborate coordination of staffers and stringers across a country of more than 180 million people.


Khurram Mehtab, 25, checks a film strip before playing it for spectators at a cinema in Rawalpindi, Pakistan, Wednesday, Feb. 20, 2013. Pakistan stars in "Zero Dark Thirty," from early scenes at a detention site to the dramatic closing minutes as Navy SEALs assault the hideout of Osama bin Laden. But the Academy Award-nominated film about the hunt for the al-Qaida leader has sparked a controversy here about its portrayal of the country, and it will likely not be shown on the local big screen anytime soon. Partly, the film taps into national discomfort that bin Laden was found to be living for years near Pakistan's equivalent of West Point, and anger over the U.S. decision to enter its airspace and raid the compound without giving advance notice.
