Syrian Ambassador summoned

Syrian Ambassador summoned
The Foreign Office have summoned the Syrian Ambassador Dr Sami Khiyami to London this afternoon to see the Political Director Sir Geoffrey Adams.

Sir Geoffrey said "the Foreign Office expected the Syrian authorities to facilitate immediate arrangements for the repatriation of the journalists' bodies, and for the medical treatment of the British journalist injured in the same attack".

The summons came after it was annonuced two Western journalists had been killed in Syrian town of Homs, with the Sunday Times’ correspondent Marie Colvin and French photographer Remi Ochlik named by the French government as the casualties.

The United States has warned the Syrian government it may resort to "additional measures" if President Assad fails to heed calls to stop the human rights abuses in the country.

The warning comes after reports that more than 100 people were killed in northern Syria on Tuesday.

David Cameron played tribute to Marie Colvin, telling the Commons she was "talented and respected".

"This is a desperately sad reminder of the risks that journalists take to report to the world what is happening," he added.
