The Assad regime deliberately ‘assassinated’ journalist Marie Colvin, says a court claim filed by the family of the late Sunday Times correspondent. The Guardian explains:

The legal action over the 2012 killing is the first war crimes-related case against the Syrian government to reach court. It includes evidence from high-placed defectors who testify that reporters were tracked via their satellite phone signals.

Colvin, an American reporter who operated out of London, and Remi Ochlik, a French photographer, were killed “in a targeted rocket attack” on a makeshift media centre in the rebel-held city of Homs, the papers allege.
