Three Spanish journalists have gone missing in Syria where they were reporting from the Aleppo region, the president of a Spanish press federation said on Tuesday.

Jose Manuel Lopez, Antonio Pampliega and Angel Sastre entered Syria on July 10 "and there has been no news of them since July 12... For the moment we can only call it a disappearance," Elsa Gonzalez, president of the Federation of Press Associations of Spain, told national television by telephone.
