France's foreign minister has confirmed the death of a French journalist in Homs.

Alain Juppe told reporters after a weekly Cabinet meeting that French authorities have expressed condolences to the journalist's family and were working to obtain the exact details about the killing. He did not identify the journalist.

Juppe said the death points to "the degradation of the situation" and "an increasingly intolerable repression" by Syrian forces.
