Heavy Weapons, Drones, Gunfire Used Against UN Monitors in Syria, Ban Says
(AFP) Heavy weapons, armor-piercing bullets and surveillance drones have been used against UN observers in Syria to hamper their efforts to monitor the worsening conflict, UN leader Ban Ki-moon told a Security Council meeting Thursday. According to UN officials, UN vehicles are shot at almost every day in Syria. Ban said UN observers had seen Syrian military convoys approaching villages and tried to stop tank assaults against populated areas but had been "ignored."
