Syrian troops have regained control of a rebellious Damascus suburb after a 10-day assault that left dozens dead, hundreds wounded and caused a major humanitarian crisis, activists said Saturday.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights and local activist Mohammed Saeed said regime forces recaptured Douma outside the capital late Friday. The latest offensive was the worst of several assaults on the area, with dead bodies left in the streets, the Observatory said. (AP)
