PLO Official Accuses Syria of Crimes Against Humanity
(Reuters) An assault by Syrian security forces on a Palestinian refugee camp in Latakia amounts to a crime against humanity, a senior official in the Palestine Liberation Organization said. "The shelling is taking place using gunships and tanks on houses built from tin, on people who have no place to run to or even a shelter to hide in," said Yasser Abed Rabbo, the PLO secretary general. "This is a crime against humanity."
