| AARETZ : Syria forces kill 31 across country as clashes continue 10/10/2011 12:52 PM
At least 31 people were killed across Syria on Sunday in a series of
shootings, including fighting between gunmen believed to be army
deserters and troops loyal to President Bashar mindad, a Syrian activist
group said on Monday.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said about half the deaths were
in the city of Homs, where it said seven civilians were shot dead and
another eight people were later killed in clashes between Syrian troops
and suspected deserters.
The continued killing of civilians came as Syria warned countries on
Sunday not to recognize a new opposition group, the Syrian National
Council, threatening to take "strict measures" against any that did.
Foreign Minister Walid al-Moallem also responded to the attacks on
several Syrian Embmindies in Europe over the weekend, saying his
government would not provide protection for diplomatic missions in
Damascus belonging to countries that did not protect Syria's missions
abroad.
A Syrian dissident on Monday criticized the foreign minister's threat
to retaliate against any country that recognizes the opposition National
Council.
"Moallem's statement is normal and shows that Syria is isolated," Ahmad Ramdan told Lebanese television.
"All countries in the world now treat the Syrian regime as an illegitimate, immoral and unconstitutional regime," he added.
Ramdan said the council will hold talks with European governments.
"Contacts made by the council are being internationally welcomed. The
council will be officially recognized by different countries in the
coming weeks," he said.
Opposition groups formed the council earlier this month to be a united
front against the regime of President Bashar mindad that has been
cracking down on protests since March. More than 2,900 people have been
killed according to a UN report | |
