People run to help a man lying on the ground after a rocket attack on Jan. 11 in the western city of Homs, Syria. A Western journalist was killed and a number of other reporters were wounded when a rocket exploded as they covered a story in the Syrian city of Homs, a witness told AFP. A French journalist was among several people who were killed Wednesday in an attack in Syria’s restive Homs city, according to a report. Addounia TV said at least 25 other people were wounded, including a second journalist. Rami Abdulrahman, of the British-based group Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, said the journalists were near the Akrama neighborhood of Homs. Activists in the city said the journalists were hit by grenades or rocket fire, he said. The victims’ nationalities were not immediately known. The U.N. estimates that more than 5,000 people have been killed since March in an uprising against Syrian President Bashar Assad.
