Having watched many videos off Algezeera/Reuters/ etc. much of Assad's fire consists of indiscriminate shelling. However, the fact that this building was widely known as housing journalists, pretty much indicates it was targeted. Nowadays, cell phone signals draw fire. However, I think her condemnation of Assad may have lead to her being specifically targeted.

I did note the presence of quite a few ZSU-23 AA guns in/near Homs. Obviously the FSA/rebels have no aerial assets. Assad is using AA guns to hose down apartment buildings, businesses, any sort of "movement." Assad is a chip off the old block.
