. >> earlier today i spoke with the activist zaidoun. he was in homs over the weekend. the shelling that wasn't and isn't supposed to be happening at all. here's our conversation. you were in homs on saturday. what did you see? what happened? >> in fact, i went with a journalist from the national. just to see whether the two sides committed to the ceasefire. and syrian free army has quit the army. i started recording every mortar or every shot i hear. i heard the first mortar fired at homs at 10:56. and then the second one at 11:02. then i stopped recording because i realized that there was no ceasefire from the regime at all whatsoever and part of the shell came over. if i had just parked by car 30 seconds before that, i would have been dead by now. >> the neighborhoods that are being hit in homs, is the fire indiscriminant? >> it's indiscriminant. there's no target whatsoever. nobody could just guess where the shell is coming. where the bomb is reaching. they are very much accustomed to death now. people talk about okay we're used to it. we just leave the home and say

. >> zaidoun, thank you for talking to us. >> from the hoover institution recently visiting the refugeeamps in turkey, one thing to talk about this in an academic way and another thing to have just been in the camps. having seen it with your own eyes, what do you come away with? >> i think academic is right. i am academic and it was an education to be in the camps and education to talk to these people and it was an education to trust what the diplomats say, the phrases that you hear, and the diplomacy and the ambassador feigning outrage about the lies and then you walk the refugee camps and i think it is something that breaks your heart and you see proud families bonded with one family and i can't tell the whole story but i can just tell you that the headline, the essence of it, this is a family from a city that early on we remember the cruelty of the regime. this is a middle class family, property family, officially had a house with eight rooms and there they were in this tent, the whole family there, two of the sons killed. one son is missing. the word missing by the way, we have been
