Syrian forces kill 11 in Damascus

None

Activists say Syrian troops backed by tanks have stormed an upscale Damascus neighborhood, killing at least 11 suspected rebels.

 

They said the attack came after regime forces shelled the area with mortars soon after dawn. An activist, who only wanted to be identified by the name Bassam, said that as many as 22 tanks stormed the Kafar Soussa neighborhood with about 20 soldiers on foot behind each one. He spoke via Skype from central Damascus. (AP)
