U.S. Calls Syria Military "Barbaric"
(AFP) The State Department on Monday highlighted the death of 12-year-old boy Talhat Dalat, who was shot by Syrian police at close range during an anti-regime rally. State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said: "The behavior of Syria's security forces, including other such barbaric shootings, widescale arrests of young men and boys, brutal torture, and other abuses of basic human rights, is reprehensible." "President Assad must understand that he is not indispensable, and we believe he is the cause of Syria's instability, not the key to its stability."
