AFP, Washington, 22 Feb 2012 – The deaths of two Western journalists in Syria are ‘another example of the shameless brutality’ of the Syrian regime, US State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland told AFP on Wednesday.
Nuland was referring to US-born Sunday Times war correspondent Marie Colvin and freelance French photojournalist Remi Ochlik, who were killed in the city of Homs on Wednesday by shelling from President Bashar al-Assad’s forces.
