The bodies of two foreign journalists who were killed last week in Syria's restive Homs province were handed over to representatives of their countries Saturday.

The bodies of French photographer Remi Ochlik and American reporter Marie Colvin were sent to the emergency section of al-Assad Hospital in Damascus earlier Saturday.

They were handed over to the French ambassador to Syria and representatives of the Polish embassy in Damascus respectively, Xinhua reported.
