French judges issued arrest warrants for Bashar al-Assad and six Syrian officials for the 2012 attack that killed journalists, including Marie Colvin. The investigation found the officials likely guilty of war crimes and crimes against humanity. The warrants constrain the accused's travel, particularly in the EU.
