Activist: Spanish journalist flees Syria to Lebanon

Spanish journalist Javier Espinosa, one of several Westerners who was trapped in the besieged Baba Amro district of Homs, has crossed from Syria into neighbouring Lebanon, an activist with the campaign group Avaaz said on Wednesday.

"Javier Espinosa is on Lebanese soil, though he hasn't yet made it to 100 percent safety," Avaaz activist Wissam Tarif told Reuters, without giving details. (Reuters)
