Description:
The killings of two Western reporters in the city of Homs and reported deaths of some 60 people across Syria have triggered further Western outrage towards the Damascus government.Sunday Times reporter Marie Colvin, an American, and French photographer Remi Ochlik died in shelling by Syria's government forces.The US said it was "another example of the shameless brutality" of the regime.French President Nicolas Sarkozy said: "That's enough... The regime must go."Syrian troops have been shelling opposition-held areas of Homs for weeks.Thousands have died since the unrest erupted last March.The International Red Cross said it hoped Wednesday's deaths would draw the attention of the world to the many hundreds of other people suffering in Syria.It earlier urged the government and rebels to agree to a daily ceasefire, to allow medical supplies to reach the worst affected areas and get civilians out.However, there is no sign yet of this being agreed.http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-17136037http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/BBC © 2012

Feb 23, 2012 - Those journalists had to be killed because they didn't follow the line of many hired "journalists" not to mention Assad's whore media in telling the lies of Assad and his criminal generals. Nothing can drive tyrants crazy more than somebody who dare to challenge their version of events.
