Annan: Too early to say Syria plan has failed

International envoy Kofi Annan said there should be no preconditions to halting violence in Syria and that a U.N.-sponsored peace plan designed to stem 13-months of conflict was still on the table.    

"On the question of whether the plan is succeeding or failing, I believe it is a bit too early to say that the plan has failed. The plan is still on the table," he told a news conference at the airport in Hatay province in southern Turkey, where he visited Syrian refugee camps.    

Annan said he had information the Syrian military was withdrawing from some areas but moving to others not previously targeted. He appealed to all sides to stop the violence.

It was earlier reported that at least 26 people were killed on Tuesday in the Syrian army's bombardment of the Bayada and Khalidiya districts of the city of Homs, activists said.   

"They are attacking Bayada with mortars from three different locations. People have taken refuge in some schools and now some of the schools have been hit," said one activist who identified himself as Abu Yasser.   

"We have at least 20 martyrs and 70 wounded, most of them women and children," he told Reuters by telephone.   

An earlier report from activists said six people had been killed in army shelling in the Homs district of Khalidiya.
