'Dozens killed' in Douma siege
A 10-day government assault on a suburb of the capital Damascus has left dozens dead, hundreds more injured, and caused a major new humanitarian crisis, a Syrian activist group said today.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said in a report that the current campaign is the worst of several assaults on Douma, a hotbed of dissenht, since the uprising against President Bashar Assad began in March last year.
