Peter Taylor has spent a lot of time talking to terrorists - and those who have fought them. For decades, his principal focus was Northern Ireland. He established a reputation as an thoughtful observer, talking to all sides in the conflict and trying to see things from their point of view, without ever being a partisan for one side or the other.

Perhaps those days were numbered rather longer than Mr Black would have hoped for - but they came to a dramatic end on Monday.
