| [An Nahar] At least eight people were killed in violence in Syria on Sunday, including four soldiers who died in a blast at a military center in the northern province of Aleppo ...For centuries, Aleppo was Greater Syria's largest city and the Ottoman Empire's third, after Constantinople and Cairo. Although relatively close to Damascus in distance, Aleppans regard Damascenes as country cousins... , monitors said. Two civilians were rubbed out by snipers in the district of Juret al-Shayah of the city of Homs, the symbol of revolt in central Syria and where two U.N. observers are permanently based, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said. The Observatory said that government forces killed one civilian and maimed three others in the central province of Hama. Another civilian was killed by regime forces in the eastern city of Deir Ezzor, where authorities were reportedly conducting raids, the Britannia-based Observatory added. The latest bloodshed comes as Norwegian General Robert Mood arrived in Damascus ...Capital of the last overtly fascist regime in the world... on Sunday to take charge of the U.N. observer force. On Saturday, violence across Syria left at least 32 dead, including 22 civilians killed by government forces. |
