Syrian tanks reach city where crackdown killed 65
None
Syrian tanks rolled toward a tense central city mourning the deaths of dozens of protesters, reaching the outskirts late Saturday hours after a funeral procession through streets lined with shuttered shops and uniformed security forces, witnesses said.
The government lifted its stranglehold on the Internet, which has been key to the 11-week uprising, but the crackdown did not relent: Troops killed at least six protesters in a northern town, according to the Local Coordination Committees, which helps organize and document the protests calling for an end to the regime of President Bashar Assad.
