Marie Colvin was buried in Homs, according to activist video Marie Colvin (REUTERS) A Syrian activist video claims to show the burial of American journalist Marie Colvin in Homs on Monday. Colvin, a renowned foreign correspondent from Britain's Sunday Times newspaper, was killed along with French photographer Remy Ochlik in a mortar strike on Homs on Feb. 22. International Red Cross efforts to recover the bodies of both journalists have failed, despite the successful evacuation of an injured journalist, Paul Conroy, on Tuesday. The Syrian government has said that Colvin's body would be buried in Syria and not sent back to the United States, Global Voices reports. This week, Colvin's mother, Rosanne, told CNN that she wanted her daughter home and that her family would "do it no matter how difficult it is or how long it will take."
