Activists: Syria Violence Spiking During Geneva Talks 
------------------------------------------------------


 
Human rights activists are warning Syria has endured its deadliest
violence to date in the three weeks since peace talks began between the
Assad regime and the opposition. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights
says an average of 236 people have been killed every day since the
U.N.-brokered negotiations opened in Geneva late last month. The toll
includes a reported 50 people in Aleppo today. The Geneva talks face
potential collapse with no movement between the two sides on the future
role of President Basher al-Assad.
