Slain Journalist's Mother Hopes Body Can Come Home The mother of an American journalist killed in Syria is hoping that her daughter's body comes home to her native New York. Marie Colvin, a veteran correspondent for The Sunday Times of London, and a French photojournalist died Wednesday in a rocket attack on the besieged city of Homs. Aid workers have been trying to remove their bodies from the war-ravaged country. This is an undated image made available Wednesday Feb. 22, 2012 by the Sunday Times in London of journalist Marie Colvin. A French government spokeswoman on Wednesday identified two Western reporters killed in Homs, Syria as American war reporter Marie Colvin and French photojournalist Remi Ochlik . She lost the sight in one eye in Sri Lanka in 2001 but did not let that deter her.

She says "absolutely no decision there has been made" on burial or funeral arrangements. The 56-year-old Colvin was a graduate of Oyster Bay High School on Long Island. Her mother lives in East Norwich.
