More than 100 people were killed in two days of violence in Syria, mostly in the flashpoint Homs region, including 55 civilians, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said on Tuesday. Monday's violence, which claimed 96 lives according to the Observatory, marked one of the bloodiest days of the revolt against President Bashar al-Assad's regime since it erupted in March.
The crackdown continued on Tuesday, with the Britain-based watchdog reporting at least eight people killed, three at the hands of regime forces in the central town of Rastan, in Homs, and five others across Idlib in the north-west. "Three people were killed when the Syrian army unleashed mortar rounds on the city of Rastan, where the regular armed forces incurred heavy losses in terms of lives and equipment in the past two days," the Observatory said.
