Freed hostage in Syria: 'I wanted to kill myself'

2 hours ago

Belgian teacher, Pierre Piccinin da Prata, who was held hostage in Syria for five months along with Italian war correspondent Domeneic Quirico, has been speaking to the BBC about his ordeal.

They both endured long, dangerous journeys that took them halfway across Syria as the battle frontlines shifted and they were forced to decamp.

Mr Pierre Piccinin da Prata talked of how his fellow hostage saved him and of the times when he wanted to kill himself.

UPDATE: 06/09/2013 - BARACK OBAMA - BASHAR AL-ASSAD - CHINA - G20 - HEZBOLLAH - IRAN - LEBANON - RUSSIA - SAUDI ARABIA - SYRIA - VLADIMIR PUTIN

'Iran plots revenge' in event of a strike on Syria

The Independent leads: 'Fear and loathing in St. Petersburg'. It says 'leaders remain as far apart as ever over Syria' at the G20 summit. We look, too, at reactions in the Arab press to the diplomatic stalemate. Iran, meanwhile, is planning to attack US embassies and interests in Baghdad if there is a military strike, according to the Wall Street Journal. And we look at a cartoon in the Chinese press focusing on how some Syrians must feel as they look on.
