By Paul Milligan and Lee Moran Last updated at 4:07 PM on 24th February 2012 The father of a British photographer wounded in the blast that killed Sunday Times photographer Marie Colvin has said his son 'doesn't want to leave her body behind'. Paul Conroy, who suffered shrapnel injuries to a leg in a mortar attack, today appeared in a YouTube video saying he is 'absolutely OK' and being looked after by rebel fighters. But despite appeals from two French journalists to be airlifted  immediately out of the country, his father Les has revealed his son is 'insisting he doesn't want to be moved out unless all of them can be taken out'.
