78 killed in new 'massacre' in Syria's Hama province | At least 78 people, including women and children, have been massacred by forces loyal to
President Bashar al-Assad in a village in central Syria last night, opposition
leaders have claimed. "We have 100 deaths in the village of Al-Kubeir in Syria
's central Hama province, among them 20 women and 20 children," news.com.au quoted
Mohammed Sermini, spokesman for the exiled opposition coalition, Syrian National
Council, as saying. Pro-regime shabiha militia armed with guns and knives carried
out the new massacre at a farm after shelling by regular troops, a Britain-based
Observatory said. "What is certain is that dozens of people died, including women
and children," the watchdog's Rami Abdel Rahman said. In other violence, rebels
killed almost 46 people in and around Damascus , Syrian Observatory for Human
Rights said. According to figures by the Britain-based watchdog, at least 168
soldiers have been killed in the past week, including 76 at the weekend. Reports
of the massacre came after Russia and China said they were 'decisively against'
intervention or regime change in Syria.
