The international community condemned the “unimaginable” killing of more than 90 people in the Syrian town of Houla, prompting the government of President Bashar al-Assad to deny a role in the violence.
General Robert Mood, head of the United Nations observers in Syria, said the circumstances of the killing of civilians in Houla were still unclear. UN observers are in the village gathering information and will report to the world body as soon as their work is complete, Mood told Al Jazeera television in a telephone interview today. He described the violence as “unimaginable.”
