Relatives of Marie Colvin, a veteran journalist killed in Syria in 2012, have filed a lawsuit claiming she was deliberately targeted by the Syrian government.
The lawsuit alleges that veteran Sunday Times correspondent Marie Colvin was killed in order to silence her reporting on Syria and Homs.
Ms Colvin was killed in 22nd February 2012 along with French photographer Remi Ochlik in a rocket attack on a makeshift broadcast studio in Homs.
While the Syrian government claimed that its attack targeted terrorists, the lawsuit claims no lawful military targets, nor armed rebels were in the vicinity of the media centre at the time of the attack.
In 2012 alone, over two dozen journalists were killed in Syria.
