Syria: 24 dead in anti-regime protests, including children
Syrian security forces fired on anti-government demonstrations across the country on Friday, killing at least 24 people – including several children – as the regime tries to choke off a 9-month-old uprising, activists said.
Some of the worst violence was reported in Homs, a city in central Syria that has emerged as the epicenter of the revolt against President Bashar Assad. (AP)
