"In the turbulent city of Homs, a Western journalist was killed on Wednesday when another pro-government rally was attacked."

...

"France 2 Television said that one of its journalists, Gilles Jacquier, 43, was killed by an exploding shell in Homs. Syrian television and a human rights group based in London said that another Western journalist was wounded there, in what appeared to be an insurgent attack on a crowd of Assad supporters."

I hope the monitors were able to document the terrorist attack in Homs and hope peace is restored soon.
