Syrian forces kill 6 in attack on protesters at mosque complex

SYRIAN forces killed six people yesterday in an attack on protesters in a mosque complex in the southern city of Deraa, and later opened fire on hundreds of youths marching in solidarity, witnesses said.

“They (the youths) came into Deraa from the north entrance. Bodies fell in the streets. We do not know how many died,” one witness said.

“You didn’t know where the bullets were coming from. No one could carry away any of the fallen,” another resident said.
