Syrian troops bomb central town
Syrian troops bombarded a town in the central province of Homs with artillery today, causing several casualties a day after nine people were killed in a continuing crackdown in the country’s turbulent heartland, activists said.
The Local Co-ordination Committees in Syria, which help organise and document the protests, said the town of Tabliseh was bombed this morning. It said snipers were deployed on roofs of mosques.
