The US is giving TOW anti-tank missiles to the Free Syrian Army. 

Syrian government forces bombed a strategic rebel town in the country’s north for the third straight day, pounding it with airstrikes that killed at least five people, activists said.

Syrian troops have been accused of massacring an entire village with rockets, machine guns and tanks.

SYRIAN forces shot dead 20 protesters despite a pledge by President Bashar al-Assad that a crackdown was over, activists said as thousands marched across Syria, spurred on by US and European calls for him to step down.
