Kurt Schork buried in Sarajevo

The last remains of the former Reuters correspondent, Kurt Schork -- who became closely identified with coverage of the war in Bosnia-Hercegovina -- have been buried in Sarajevo.

Mr Schork was killed in an ambush in Sierra Leone in May, along with a colleague from the Associated Press, Miguel Gil Moreno.

After Mr Schork's cremation in Washington, half of his ashes were taken to the Lion cemetery in Sarajevo.

He was buried next to the subjects of one of his best-known news stories -- a Muslim girl and her Serb boyfriend who were shot dead while trying to escape during the conflict.
