‘Unprecedented massacre’ in Syria

SYRIAN forces killed 111 people ahead of the start of a mission to monitor President Bashar al-Assad’s implementation of an Arab League peace plan, activists claimed.

France branded the killings an “unprecedented massacre”.

Rami Abdulrahman of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said 111 civilians and activists were killed, in addition to more than 100 casualties among army deserters in Idlib province, turning Tuesday into the “bloodiest day of the Syrian revolution”.
