[edit] Featured articles

Bengtsson has produced many featured articles but is probably best known for his coverage of Turkey's invasion of Cyprus and his coining of ghost town to describe Famagusta in 1974.[2]

He wrote a series of three articles in March 1990 about UN Commissioner for Namibia, Bernt Carlsson, who died when Pan Am Flight 103 was sabotaged over Lockerbie, Scotland on December 21, 1988. The articles alleged Carlsson had been persuaded by apartheid South Africa into joining PA 103 at Heathrow, instead of taking a flight, as intended, direct from Brussels to New York.[3]
