Syrian government forces shelled the city of Homs after killing nearly 100 people yesterday as Russia warned that Syria was sliding into a full-scale civil war.
About 96 people were killed by Syrian security forces yesterday, the Local Coordination Committees, an activist group, said on its website today. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said about 83 people were killed across Syria, including 29 in Homs, where Syrian forces attacked rebel neighborhoods using shells and heavy machine guns, according to an e-mailed statement from the U.K.-based group.
