France today issued an arrest warrant for ousted Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and six other former officials over the 2012 bombing of the Syrian city of Homs that killed two journalists.

Marie Colvin, 56, an American who worked for the British newspaper "Sunday Times", and French photographer Remy Ohlik, 28, died on February 22, 2012, in an explosion in the eastern city of Homs, which French justice is investigating as a possible crime against humanity, as well as a war crime, France 24 reports.

British photographer Paul Conroy, French journalist Edith Bouvier and Syrian translator Wael Omar were injured in the attack on the press center where they worked.

Assad fled to Russia with his family after being overthrown by Islamist rebels in late 2024, although his exact location has not been confirmed.

In addition to Assad, the arrest warrants specifically target his brother Maher al-Assad, who was the de facto commander of Syria's 4th Armored Division at the time, intelligence chief Ali Mamluq, and then-army chief of staff Ali Ayub.

“The issuance of the seven arrest warrants is a decisive step that paves the way for a trial in France for war crimes and crimes against humanity committed by the Bashar al-Assad regime,” said Clemence Bechtart, a lawyer at the Paris-based International Federation for Human Rights (FIDH).

FIDH announced that the journalists secretly entered the besieged city to “document the crimes committed by the Bashar al-Assad regime” and that they were victims of “targeted bombings.”
