4 students killed as Syrian forces raid university

Syrian forces have stormed student dormitories during an anti-government protest at Aleppo University, firing tear gas and bullets in an hours-long siege that has killed at least four students and forced the closure of the state-run school, activists said.

UN truce observers toured other restive parts of the country on Thursday, and residents told them of being too terrified to walk on the streets after dark as the 14-month-old uprising rages on. (AP)
