------------------------------------------------------


 
In Syria, forces loyal to the regime of President Bashar al-Assad are
being accused of killing up to 100 people, including many civilians.
Opposition activists say the killings occured when government troops and
militia fighters raided the coastal village of al-Baida. The attack came
hours after rebels killed at least six pro-Assad fighters traveling
aboard a bus.
