The Syrian National Council, an opposition alliance seeking to topple President Bashar al-Assad, called for a United Nations’ Security Council meeting to address alleged “massacres” and “large-scale genocide.”

State forces have killed 250 people in the past 48 hours in the regions of Idlib, Homs and al-Zawiyah, the council said in an e-mailed statement. The regions should be be declared “safe zones,” it said.
