SANA: Attack in Syria's Idlib Kills 3, Including Journalist

A bomb attack in northwest Syria killed three people on Sunday, including a journalist working for a publication of the ruling Baath party, state news agency SANA said.

The agency reported the killing of Fakhreddine Hassan, a journalist for the Baath party's youth publication.

He was killed along with two other people by a blast that hit their bus on a road in the northwestern province of Idlib. Another nine people were wounded in the attack.

International press freedom watchdog Reporters Without Borders recently reported 23 journalists killed in Syria's 30-month war, as well as the death of at least 58 citizen journalists.

The conflict has killed more than 110,000 people, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
