Spanish Newspaper Reports Correspondent's Escape From Syria The Spanish newspaper El Mundo reports that one of its correspondents, Javier Espinosa, arrived safely in Lebanon on Wednesday, making him the second foreign journalist to escape from the Syrian city of Homs this week. Syrian activists are reportedly still trying to get two French journalists, William Daniels and Edith Bouvier, across the Lebanese border. The editor of El Mundo, Pedro J. Ramírez, reported on Twitter that Mr. Espinosa was safe and sound, but the two French journalists had apparently not yet escaped Homs. Ms. Bouvier's leg was fractured last week in a rocket attack on a media center in Homs that killed two of her colleagues, the American reporter Marie Colvin and the French photographer Rémi Ochlik. A British photographer, Paul Conroy, who was also injured in the attack, was smuggled to safety by Syrian activists on Tuesday. After the two wounded reporters appealed for help in video messages posted online by Syrian activists last week, the International Committee of the Red Cross tried and failed to negotiate their evacuation during a brief cease-fire on Friday night. Moves to evacuate the reporters came as the Syrian military appeared to intensify its assault on Baba Amr, a Homs neighborhood that slipped from government control last year. Rumors of a final push on the district flew on Wednesday, as all communications were cut with activists there for several hours. Until the eve of his escape, Mr. Espinosa used his Twitter feed to post updates on the assault on Baba Amr. As soon as the news of his arrival in Lebanon was published, Mr. Espinosa's partner, Monica García Prieto, used the social network to draw attention to the fact that "20,000 civilians, not just two French journalists," remain under heavy bombardment in Homs. Ms. García added that "the same team of heroic Syrian activists" who rescued Mr. Espinosa and Mr. Conroy were still working to get Mr. Daniels and Ms. Bouvier to safety, even though "at least 23″ of them have been killed already in the effort to smuggle supplies into Homs and the foreign journalists out. The exact number of Syrians killed in the rescue effort could not be independently confirmed, but Avaaz, an international activist network that has provided aid to the protest movement in Syria, said on Tuesday that the total was 13. An additional 10 activists were killed days earlier as they tried to smuggle medical supplies into the besieged city, Avaaz said. Reflecting on the fact that the outside world has failed to stop the killing of Syrians, Ms. García also wrote: "Shame on us. On all of us. Before the news of Mr. Espinosa's escape was made public, Arwa Damon of CNN reported that the activists also smuggled several wounded Syrians out of Homs in the same operation. One wounded man who spoke to Ms. Damon in a Lebanese hospital said that Mr. Espinosa had saved his life when the group came under attack by Syrian security forces.
