Journalists wounded in Syrian clashes

Two journalists covering the clashes in the city of Aleppo in Syria have been wounded. Omar Khashram, who works for Al-Jazeera's Arabic service, was hit by shrapnel after a mortar round landed near him. He has been taken across the border for medical treatment in Turkey.

Turkish photojournalist Sinan Gül of the Anatolian news agency was reportedly shot in the foot and taken to a hospital in Aleppo.

Last week (27 July), two freelance photographers - John Cantlie, a Briton, and Jeroen Oerlemans from the Netherlands - were released after spending a week in custody. They told reporters that their captors were foreign jihadis from south Asia.

A gallery of Cantlie's pictures of the Free Syrian Army can be found here.
