In 1984 , Kroft landed a job as a foreign correspondent at the CBS London bureau , where he traveled extensively to cover stories in Europe , Africa , Asia , and the Middle East . Many of his assignments involved international terrorism and sectarian violence , including the hijackings of TWA Flight 847 and Achille Lauro , the Rome and Vienna airport attacks of the Abu Nidal Organization , the Lebanese Civil War , and the violence in Northern Ireland . His report for the '' CBS Evening News '' on the assassination of Indira Gandhi won him an Emmy . In 1986 , CBS News brought Kroft back to the United States to become a principal correspondent on a new magazine show called '' West 57th '' . He stayed in that position until the program was cancelled in the spring of 1989
