[Emirates 24/7] Syrian activists say regime forces fired on a funeral procession in the presence of U.N. observers, causing many casualties. The activists said the observers were not among the maimed Tuesday, but their vehicles were damaged. A U.N. front man confirmed the observers were caught up in the country's violence on Tuesday and their cars sustained damage. But Ahmad Fawzi, a front man for special envoy Kofi Annan, ![]() had no other details. An Idlib-based activist, Fadi al-Yassin, said he witnessed the attack on the funeral and saw that the observers were there. The Britannia-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, citing a network of sources on the ground, also reported the attack. |
