Diplomatic sources told the agency on Wednesday that correspondent Suleiman al-Khalidi was detained by Syrian authorities in Damascus on Tuesday. He is a Jordanian national based in Amman.

Photographer Khaled al-Hariri, a Syrian based in Damascus, has not been in contact with colleagues since Monday.

Reuters Editor-in-Chief Stephen Adler said the agency is 'deeply concerned' about the journalists.

Their disappearance follows the detention of two Reuters television journalists. They were held incommunicado for two days before being released by Syrian authorities on Monday.
