A Devon-based photographer has been injured in an attack on a media centre in Syria in which two journalists were killed.

Freelance photographer Paul Conroy, 47, suffered a leg injury in the same attack which killed Sunday Times correspondent Marie Colvin and French photographer Remi Ochlik.

Both were killed when a shell hit the makeshift media centre they were staying in, in the Baba Amr area of Syrian city Homs.

Rupert Murdoch, owner of the Sunday Times, said efforts were being made to rescue Mr Conroy.

“We are doing all we can in the face of shelling and sniper fire to get him to safety and to recover Marie’s body,” he said.
