THE INDEPENDENT: Security forces opened fire yesterday as thousands of anti-government protesters took to Syria's streets in a weekly ritual of defiance as they push for the overthrow of President Bashar al-Assad, activists said.
At least seven people, including a child, were reported killed. Four were shot dead in Barzeh, a Damascus district, said human rights activist Mustafa Osso.
State television said unidentified "gunmen" had opened fire, killing three civilians and wounding several security force members. » | AP | Saturday, June 25, 2011
