Syrian Troops Tear-Gas Damascus Mourners
(AFP-France24) Syrian troops used tear gas to try to disperse a mass funeral for slain protesters attended by thousands in Damascus, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said. "Syrian regime forces used tear gas to disperse people attending the funerals of the Kfar Sousa martyrs and calling for the fall of the regime," the Observatory said. Rami Abdel Rahman of the Syrian Observatory accused the regime of launching the attacks to stop funerals a day after the security forces killed 30 anti-regime protesters, including nine in the Kfar Sousa and Tadamon districts of Damascus.
