Activists say Syrian troops kill 100 in village
None
Government forces surrounded residents of a restive Syrian village in a valley and killed all those trapped inside – more than 100 people – in a barrage of rockets, tank shells, bombs and gunfire that lasted for hours, a witness and two activist groups said Wednesday.
The attack on Tuesday pushed the death toll for two days of violence across Syria to more than 200, and was one of the deadliest single events of the entire nine-month uprising against President Bashar Assad's authoritarian rule. (AP)
