Journalists Colvin, Ochlik buried in Syria's Homs
American journalist Marie Colvin and French photographer Remi Ochlik were buried in the Syrian city of Homs where they were killed in shelling nine days ago, according to videos posted on the Internet.
A man who appeared in the videos showed two bodies wrapped in white shrouds, marked with their names, and said they were buried because electricity cuts in the besieged city meant the bodies could no longer be prevented from decaying, Reuters writes.
"Marie Colvin was martyred in Baba Amro because she was sending ... a humanitarian message, carrying the truth about what was happening in Baba Amro," said the man, wearing medic's clothes, surgical mask and a stethoscope.
Activists say Colvin and Ochlik were killed on Feb. 22 during intense bombardment of the Baba Amro district of Homs, a stronghold of rebels fighting President Bashar al-Assad.
The videos were dated Feb. 27.
