Reza Hosseini

Reza Hosseini (Persian: رضا حسینی‎; 8 May 1960 – 19 August 2003) was a relief worker who was killed in the Canal Hotel bombing in Iraq. His colleagues valued him for his 'joie de vivre' and great operational skill: “He had an air of confidence that there were no problems that couldn’t be overcome. And that confidence was contagious,” one colleague wrote. Everyone who ever met him remembers his smile, which would light up the room.

After moving out of the private sector, Reza worked for the

University of Nebraska. He spoke English, Persian, Indonesian and Spanish

. His second wife, Zari Shakeri (born on 16 July 1971), is the mother of Yazdan born on 16 November 1995, and Yasaman, born on 14 June 1998.
