One of the wounded is the Sunday Times photographer, Paul Conroy, who was travelling with Colvin.

Very sad. Slightly shocking as I saw Colvin's reporting just yesterday evening. Such an important yet dangerous job RIP.

Very sad news indeed.
And also a timely reminder for people who get their news for "free" on the net it is not "free" news always has a cost attached as this very sad announcement proves.

Yes, in the current clamour, by some, to tar journalists with the same brush, we should remember all those who're utterly professional, dedicated and do an immensely important job.
RIP

Suggestions that the house was purposefully targeted by Assad's regime.

Sickening. The UN needs to be more proactive about this. I really don't care if we look like hypocrites. The stuff happening in Syria is shameful.
