Thousands of Anti-Assad Protesters Rally in Syria
(Reuters) Mariam Karouny - Forces loyal to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad fired in the air on Friday to break up thousands of anti-government demonstrators in Aleppo, Syria's largest city, in a second consecutive day of street protests. "The people want the fall of the regime!" chanted protesters in footage distributed by opposition activists. In Damascus, activists said security forces shot and killed two protesters in the southern district of Tadamun, wounding at least five people. Similar rallies took place in several other cities across Syria.
