Japanese reporter Mika Yamamoto has been confirmed to have been killed in Aleppo yesterday.
That much is clear. There are many things though that are not clear.
Turkish media reported last night that according to their sources the driver of the vehicle Ms. Yamamoto was being driven in had said that they were shot at and Ms. Yamamoto was killed by 'men dressed like members of the FSA'.
The FSA has denied this.
Turkish media also reported last night that three other journalists, one Turk and two Arabs, who were travelling with Ms. Yamamoto were missing.
This afternoon a Turkish MP who represents Gaziantep announced that the missing Turkish journalist, Cuneyt Unal, had been killed. He also stated that Mr. Unal had been working for the Turkish government owned TRT (Turkish Radio and Television).
No official statement from the Turkish Government has been released yet; probably because the government is busy dealing with the terrorist bombing yesterday evening in Gaziantep which killed nine civilians and wounded 66 others, and with the deaths of nine Turkish soldiers this morning when a bus carrying Turkish soldiers in very rough terrain in southeast Turkey rolled off a cliff.
Aljazeera, though, is reporting that the missing Turkish journalist was working for the US government owned Al Hurra television station.
The US government-funded Al Hurra television station said Monday it had lost contact with two of its employees working in Syria - they were reportedly travelling with Yamamoto at the time of the attack.
Correspondent Bashar Fahmi and his cameraman Cuneyt Unal had entered Syria early on Monday, according to Deirdre Kline, the director of communications for Middle East Broadcasting Networks, which operates Al Hurra.
"We have seen the YouTube video in which the Free Syrian Army states that Al Hurra correspondent Bashar Fahmi and his cameraman Cuneyt Unal were captured and detained in Aleppo, Syria," Kline said in a statement sent to the AFP news agency.
"We have not been able to get in touch with Mr Fahmi and Mr Unal since they entered Syria on Monday morning. We are currently working to gather more information about their status."
If Mr. Unal has been killed he will be the fourth Turkish citizen killed in Syria in the past week. Three Turkish men who were reported to be well-known members of the Turkish arm of al-Qaeda were killed in Aleppo last week.
