Syria UN team shot at

The United Nations is reporting that a team of monitors trying to reach the Syrian village of Qubair, where 78 people are said to have been killed, were shot at.



The UN has 297 unarmed observers in Syria to verify the implementation of a peace plan negotiated by UN envoy Kofi Annan.



The ceasefire was meant to have taken effect in mid-April.



However, Annan said his peace plan for Syria was not being implemented despite being accepted by Damascus.



Meanwhile, the latest violence comes less than two weeks, after 108 people were killed in a massacre in Houla.
