Syria chemical weapons probe stalled after U.N. team shot at

„Shots were fired yesterday at a U.N. security team doing reconnaissance in Douma,“ a U.N. source told CBS News‘ Pamela Falk on Wednesday. „They were not injured and returned to Damascus.“ The team is working with the OPCW inspectors, who arrived in Damascus over the weekend, to determine when it will be safe to carry out the first inspection visit.

Syrian media said the chemical weapons inspectors had entered Douma on Tuesday, but a Syrian diplomat said later that only the U.N. security team had visited.
