'Mummy, mummy': How terrified cries of Homs children nearly cost Spanish journalist his life

The cries of terrified children calling for their mothers nearly cost Spanish journalist Javier Espinosa his life during his escape under cover of darkness from the besieged city of Homs, he has revealed.
“The kids were very afraid. They were crying, and saying, ‘Mummy, mummy, mummy,’ and I think that noise was the one that alerted the army.

“They started shooting – they started shooting all around, so we had to run for our lives.”
