The road to Haffa, once a town of 24,000 people
and popular with tourists, is now empty with most of the people gone. Left are
burnt-out cars, bombed buildings, and according to the United Nations
observers, a stench of dead bodies. The UN had been trying to get into Haffa
for a week, amid fears of a brutal assault by forces loyal to President Bashar
al-Assad. What observers found was evidence of a recent battle, and a strong
Syrian army presence. Al Jazeera's Dominic Kane reports.
