"Ms Colvin’s killing came early on in the Syrian civil war, when, as the lawsuit claims, President Assad's regime was trying to silence local and international media "as part of its effort to crush political opposition".
The defector claimed that when Ms Colvin's death was confirmed, Syrian Maj. Gen. Rafiq Shahadah exclaimed: "Marie Colvin was a dog and now she's dead. Let the Americans help her now."
His account appears to be corroborated by Syrian government documents filed as evidence in the case, which suggest the regime targeted her to silence her reporting on its atrocities.
The lawsuit alleges that Syrian forces tracked Western journalists' movements and located their media centre so they could be captured or killed.
As part of her reporting, Ms Colvin gave live interviews to the BBC and CNN. Syrian forces were "shelling with impunity and a merciless disregard for the civilians who simply cannot escape," she said.
The highest levels of the Syrian government, including President Assad's brother, were behind the plan to track the journalist once she entered Syria, the lawsuit claims, using a mobile satellite interception device that could tap broadcast signals and locate their origin as well as an informant on the ground.
The actual maliciousness that the Syrian regime had against Western reporters and their Syrian counterparts and sources is on display through multiple witnesses and multiple documents," said Scott Gilmore, the lawyer acting on behalf of Ms Colvin's family.
At least 100 journalists, most of them Syrian, have been killed in the country since the conflict began in 2011."

There is a big difference between a real advocate for rights and a fucking fake one. Can you identify the differences? The above picture is a gesture of what a brave and courageous female rights advocate and journalist, looks like. They aren't on vogue looking all fucking glamorous, or running around getting their picture taken for all kinds of bullshit. Or needing articles bringing attention to their falsehoods, being written about their lies and plastered daily on the web, in magazines, on t.v. . . .
They really stand in the battlefields, reporting, filming, losing eyes, and risking death daily. Death can and does come to their door, for doing so. Unfortunately these days journalists or females like Ms. Colvin are not popular, or respected as those the world is enamored with. But I would bet Ms. Colvin was doing exactly what she set out to, with a true purpose and aim, knowing the risk of injuring or death.
I find it amazing compared to some American journalist, right here in America, the difference between them and Ms. Colvin. I would say cowards vs. the brave and courageous. Not just coward, but a crazy making, chaos creator, only disrupting negatively with no real news reporting. Drumming up shit to distract from getting shit done. Those are "The Kind" I want to expose. And I am not just talking about journalists, but a certain "Gang and Kind!"
