(AFP) The U.S. ambassador to Syria, Robert Ford, has posted declassified photographs on his Facebook site that the State Department said Friday shows an army attacking a civilian area in the city of Homs. State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said the "declassified U.S. national imagery" shows the destruction of Homs, which activists have said is being shelled relentlessly by the Syrian army. Nuland described them as "very gruesome pictures showing lines of tanks, showing fires, showing the kind of thing that you really only see if you have a major military attacking in a civilian area."
