6 dead in new clashes in southern Syria city
None
New violence in a restive southern Syrian city left as many as six people dead Wednesday, an activist said, making it the deadliest single day since anti-government protests inspired by uprisings across the Arab world reached this country last week.
The activist told The Associated Press that six people died in the southern city of Daraa when security forces launched an attack near the al-Omar Mosque, where anti-government demonstrators have taken shelter. He said among the dead was a paramedic. The activist spoke on condition of anonymity, fearing reprisals. (AP)
