Paul Conroy, who worked for the Sunday Times, was carried on a stretcher to the safety of neighbouring Lebanon. He had suffered leg injuries during the bombardment that killed his colleague, Marie Colvin, and a French photographer, Remi Ochlik, in Homs last Wednesday. After spending five days trapped in the district of Baba Amr, Mr Conroy, 47, left the city on Sunday night with the aid of Syrian opposition activists. He had been confined alongside Edith Bouvier, a correspondent for the French newspaper Le Figaro - who was also suffering from leg injuries inflicted during the same attack - and two other journalists, Javier Espinosa and William Daniels.
