Activists: Dozens killed in Syria shelling
BEIRUT (AP) - Syrian troops rained tank and artillery shells down on a rebellious suburb of the Syrian capital of Damascus today, killing dozens of people during a particularly bloody week across the country, opposition groups and activists said. It’s difficult to get an accurate death toll in tightly controlled Syria, where journalists and human rights groups are either banned or severely restricted. But two opposition groups that compile and document casualties reported the death of more than 125 civilians in fighting across the country on Thursday alone.
