Journalists bodies flown to Paris
The body of a Sunday Times journalist Maria Colvin has been flown out of Syria on board a French plane to Paris.
Poland's Foreign Ministry said the body of Ms Colvin, along with that of French photographer Remi Ochlik, left late on Saturday.
Syrian Red Crescent officials had handed over the bodies to embassy officials, with Polish diplomats taking the remains of American-born Ms Colvin following the closure of the US embassy in Damascus last month.
