Syrian President Bashar al-Assad stopped his visit to the city of Homs on Tuesday after his cortege was attacked, RIA Novosti reports.
Syrian state-run media did not report on the attack. There is no information on whether or not the president was injured. Assad visited the troubled Baba Amr neighborhood in Homs on Tuesday, pledging a “return to normal life” for the city.
“Life will return to normal in Baba Amro, better than it was before,” Al Arabiya quoted Assad as addressing to his supporters.
The Baba Amro district was devastated after a 26-day siege by pro-government forces.
