Red Cross head returns to Syria
he president of the Red Cross says he has returned to Syria for a two-day visit aimed at convincing the conflict-stricken country's leaders to give more access to aid workers.
The Syrian government is under growing pressure to end its crackdown on an opposition uprising that the UN estimates has killed more than 9,000 people. Shells have slammed into the central Syrian city of Homs Monday, killing more than two dozen people, activists say, as Syria's government defies cease-fire demands and international efforts to boost the rebels.
