Aid convoy to Syria's Homs comes under attack - Middle East - Al Jazeera English:

An aid convoy has come under attack in the besieged Syrian city of Homs, threatening a UN-led operation to bring food and medicine to 2,500 people and evacuate civilians trapped by fighting between rebels and government forces.

Saturday's violence threatens to unravel a humanitarian deal for Homs which was the first concrete result of talks launched two weeks ago in the Swiss city of Geneva to try to end Syria's civil war.

The Syrian Arab Red Crescent said mortar fire landed close to its convoy and shots were fired at its lorries, wounding one of its drivers.
