Syrian security forces shot dead three civilians in the eastern city of Deir al-Zor on Thursday, residents said, in a new effort to try to crush widening Sunni Muslim unrest against President Bashar al-Assad.
"Mosques are calling for blood (donations) for 14 people badly wounded," one resident, a computer programmer who declined to be named, told Reuters by phone. (Reuters)
