Syria Says 120 Killed in ‘Terror’ Attack on Security Forces

Syria’s government said as many as 120 security personnel were killed in an ambush by “terror groups” in the country’s north. Opposition supporters said the people who died were defectors who were shot by loyalists.

The attackers carried out a “massacre” in the town of Jisr al-Shughour, and stole 5 tons of dynamite, Syrian state television said. The government will act with resolve against those responsible, it said.
