Assad Strikes Opposition Cities as Syria Measures Compete

Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s forces attacked cities where the opposition is concentrated as countries including Turkey, France and Russia sought to present their own solutions to end the violence.

Syria’s army continued shelling Homs, killing at least 126 people, Al Jazeera reported today, and more than 300 people have died during Assad’s siege since Feb. 3, Human Rights Watch said today. More than 5,400 people have died since protests began last March, according to the United Nations.
