"Syrian soldiers killed three Westerners - reportedly the British 
man, the American woman, and a third person of unidentified nationality - in 
northwest Idlib province near the Turkish border, a monitoring group said late 
last night. "They were shot dead during an ambush in the Idlib region and the 
army found them with maps of military positions," said Rami Abdel Rahman, 
director of the [UK based, anti-Assad] Syrian Observatory for Human 
Rights."
