Syria: Troops fire on fleeing residents

None

Syrian troops fired on fleeing residents, killing at least one person early Monday in the port city of Latakia where military operations to root out protests against President Bashar Assad's autocratic regime were in the third day, witnesses and activists said.

 

Separately, activists and rights groups said troops backed by tanks entered the village of Houla, in the flashpoint central city of Homs. They said the military was carrying out raids and arrests there. (AP)
