(BBC) Syrian government forces have renewed their attack on the city of Homs, one of the focal points of the uprising against President Bashar al-Assad. Video published on the internet purportedly from Homs showed intermittent shelling and black smoke.

UN mediator Kofi Annan is concerned civilians have been trapped in Homs and al-Haffa, a town in Latakia province also said to be under attack. The US says it fears the government may be planning "another massacre". Mr Annan's spokesman, Ahmad Fawzi, said civilians had been trapped in both Homs and al-Haffa. Mr Annan was demanding immediate entry to al-Haffa for UN military observers be allowed, he added.

As joint envoy for the UN and the Arab League, Mr Annan brokered a six-point peace plan, including a ceasefire which came into nominal effect two months ago but has now been virtually abandoned. BBC Middle East bureau editor Paul Danahar, who visited Homs with a team of UN observers earlier on Monday, said the Syrian army appeared to be using an unmanned surveillance drone to select buildings as targets for shelling.

Our correspondent reported a steady stream of mortar rounds landing in the old city of Homs at a rate of about one a minute. He says he understands that the UN team - which has been trying for two days to gain access to the old city - has still not succeeded.

All the UN can do is stand by and watch, our correspondent says. (Click link to continue)

  • The US says it fears the government may be planning "another massacre". Yea like the one which has already been proven to be by the Sunni rebels.

  • According to the BBC The Syrian Army is using drones to direct the fire so it's probably dropped exactly where needed - on the heads of the terrorists

      U.S. propoganda? How?

      The regime there is a dictatorship, the government has massacred many of its own people (the number dead is now over 10,000) and the description is pretty accurate.

    • @cswartz The regime has been accused of massacres, although nobody can say what is what. It is not a massacre to shoot dead rebels trying to kill the government. That is war. It is not a massacre to have collateral damage in war. If the regime deliberately attacked civilians for the purpose of killing civilians; THAT would be a massacre. Rebels do not count as civilians. I don't think there is any evidence that the regime has deliberately tried to kill innocent people as an official policy. Is i More..

  • Stupid muslims, if some terror element tried to overthrow the US government by causing shit in new york city, rest assured the army would be raining hell down on the city for as long as needed... this situation is exactly the same with added funding from Israel and the US who have been destabilizing middle eastern countries one after another for the last 10 years then swooping in for the loot. Plus Israel wants as many neighboring countries in US hands as possible. Simple kindergarten math...

  • its becoming so obvious that the rebels want NATO-UN to intervene, and i am also sure that this is not the work of the Bashir al-Assad Regime he knows the World and NATO-UN are watching and he isnt mad or stupid..
    Nato should in no way drag our Troops into another war that has nothing to do with us.. Nato was originaly set up as united defense against the Russians.. not to fight in countrys that are not even part of Nato, thats why the League of Arab States was established > so where have the More..
