Syria crashes leave seven deaths

Seven civilians were killed, among them a girl, and a hundred wounded in shootings by the Syrian security forces in the region of Homs. Dozens of tanks surrounded Rastan and Talbiseh and opened fire against the people demanding the departure of President Bashar al Assad. "More than 100 wounded have been taken to hospitals (...) of Homs," said a human rights activist.

The Washington Post published a story quoting unidentified U.S. officials, which says Iran sending instructors and Syria to help the regime to repress the demonstrations that threaten its main ally in the region. Human rights organizations estimate that the crackdown has killed over a thousand people.

President Assad, with 11 years in power, and was sanctioned by the United States and the European Union, but refuses to leave power.
