PanARMENIAN.Net - Syrian rebels have attacked a village in the
country's east, killing dozens of Shias, mostly pro-government
fighters, activists said, Belfast Telegraph reported.
At least 60 died in Hatla village in the province of Deir el-Zour
on Tuesday, June 11 according to the UK-based Syrian Observatory for
Human Rights.
The rebel attack was reportedly in retaliation for an earlier attack
by Shias from Hatla that killed four rebels.
The Observatory said many villagers from Hatla were forced to flee
to nearby Jafra.
The clashes came a week after Syrian troops backed by Lebanon's
Shia Hezbollah group captured the strategic town of Qusair near the
Lebanese border.
At least 14 people were killed on Tuesday when two suicide bombers
hit a square in central Damascus.
One of the explosions took place inside a police station and many
officers were among the dead. Syrian state TV quoted a security
official as saying 14 people died in blasts caused by two "terrorist"
suicide bombers near a police station in the bustling Marjeh Square
in the heart of the capital. The official said another 31 were wounded.
